AWS Cloud Control API
#144 · Level 4 · Operations and specialized areas · DevOps and Infrastructure as CodeConcept
Section titled “Concept”AWS Cloud Control API gives one consistent way to create, read, update, delete and list all kinds of AWS resources. Normally each service’s API works with its own names and rules. With Cloud Control API, you just give the resource type and its properties, and the same command works across all services. It uses the resource descriptions (schemas) from the CloudFormation registry. So when a new resource is added, tools can use it without extra code.
