AWS CloudFomation (https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/), is one way in which we can use a text file to describe and launch the resource that we need. We can use CloudFormation to provision another VPC in the us-west-1 region:
VPC for US-West-1
The CloudFormation template can be in YAML or JSON; we will use YAML for our first template for provisioning:
