Enhancements for AWS CloudFormation

AWS CloudFormation is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) service that allows users to model, provision, and manage AWS and third-party resources. Recently, AWS CloudFormation released a new language transform that enhances the core language. Since its initial release, two more enhancements have been added: Fn::FindInMap enhancements and a new looping function – Fn::ForEach. These new language transforms provide users with more functionality and make it easier to deploy applications in a multicloud environment.
