Amazon Web Services Hiring for Software Development Manager at Seattle, Washington Full Time

Description

Job summary

AWS CloudFormation provides an easy declarative way to create, deploy and manage applications and infrastructure in the AWS cloud. The CloudFormation teams are pioneers in the “Infrastructure as Code” space. We develop distributed systems that spin up infrastructure across AWS at unprecedented scale.

With CloudFormation, customers can model their infrastructure and application resources in a template file, and automate provisioning of these resources in a safe, repeatable manner. CloudFormation takes care of determining the right operations to perform when managing your resources, orchestrating them in the most efficient way, and rolls back changes automatically if errors are detected. Codifying their infrastructure allows customers to treat their infrastructure as just code. They can author it with any code editor, check it into a version control system, and review the files with team members before deploying into production.
