You need to create a Route53 record automatically in CloudFormation when not running in production during all launches of a Template. How should you implement this?

Answer options:

A.Use a Parameter for the environment, and add a Condition on the Route53 Resource in the template to create the record only when the environment is not production.
B.Create two templates, one with the Route53 record value and one with a null value for the record. Use the one without it when deploying to production.
C.Use a Parameter for the environment, and add a Condition on the Route53 Resource in the template to create the record with a null string when the environment is production.
D.Create two templates, one with the Route53 record and one without it. Use the one without it when deploying to production.

Answer – A
The optional Conditions section includes statements that define when a resource is created or when a property is defined. For example, you can compare whether a value is equal to another value. Based on the result of that condition, you can conditionally create resources. If you have multiple conditions, separate them with commas.
You might use conditions when you want to reuse a template that can create resources in different contexts, such as a test environment versus a production environment. You can add an EnvironmentType input parameter in your template, which accepts either prod or test as inputs. For the production environment, you might include Amazon EC2 instances with certain capabilities. However, for the test environment, you want to use reduced capabilities to save money. With conditions, you can define which resources are created and how they`re configured for each environment type.
