AWS Proton
#152 · Level 4 · Operations and specialized areas · DevOps and Infrastructure as CodeConcept
Section titled “Concept”With AWS Proton, a platform team builds approved templates, and developers use those templates to launch infrastructure and apps on their own. There are two kinds of templates here: environment templates and service templates. Environment templates build a shared foundation, such as the network. Service templates launch an app and its CI/CD on top of that environment. Inside a template, the infrastructure is written with CloudFormation or Terraform.
