Hello, you recommend the project : "Deploy a static web app in AWS S3 with Terraform and create a CICD pipeline for it."
I am a beginner and I am wondering why not using CloudFormation instead of Terraform ?

Thank you for asking question,

We can use CloudFormation, but Terraform would be a addition to the tech skills as well as Terraform is used for multiple cloud. It has its own pros. This is one of the most used and loved IaaC (Infrastructure as a Code) tool.

Here my thought is to make understand the way DevOps work and to add skills. But it is absolute choice to choose the tools and tech.

Hope you got what I wanted to say.
