When you need to create the same/similar replica of the existing cloud environment to another region or account, just create a template (in form of JSON/YAML) from the existing cloud environment and implement it on another region or account. CloudFormation converts all your cloud infrastructure to JSON/YAML code. Below are some basic points to remember about CloudFormation:
1. Infrastructure as Code
2. Create replica of your existing cloud environment (infrastructure resources) across multiple accounts and regions.
3. Components:
4. Use cases:
5. Cost: Cloud Formation does not have any additional cost but you are charged for the underlying resources it builds.

3. Components:
- Template (JSON or YAML) (Code of your cloud environment or infrastructure resources)
- Stack (Logical collection/grouping of infrastructure resources based on the template code)
- Changeset (Preview summary of proposed changes to your infrastructure)
4. Use cases:
- To copy the current cloud environment to another account or region
- To copy Production environment for developers to debug any issue
5. Cost: Cloud Formation does not have any additional cost but you are charged for the underlying resources it builds.
