AWS has announced CloudFormation Express Mode, a new deployment option that accelerates infrastructure provisioning by up to four times compared to standard CloudFormation deployments.
The feature optimizes stack creation and updates through parallel resource orchestration and a streamlined deployment engine, reducing the time required to provision supported AWS resources.
Developers can enable Express Mode for compatible workloads without changing existing CloudFormation templates, making adoption straightforward. AWS says the capability helps teams shorten infrastructure deployment cycles, improve CI/CD pipeline performance, and accelerate application delivery while continuing to use CloudFormation as their infrastructure-as-code service.
