You’re in charge of creating a cloud formation template. This template needs to create resources for multiple types of environments. The template needs to be flexible so that it can create resources based on the type of environment. How can you achieve this? Choose 2 answers from the options given below.

Answer options:

A.Create an Input Parameter to take in the type of environment.
B.Use the Outputs section to define the type of environment.
C.Use the Custom Resources feature to create resources based on the type of environment.
D.Use the Conditions section to create resources based on the type of environment.

Answer – A and D
This is given in the AWS Documentation.
The optional Conditions section contains statements that define the circumstances under which entities are created or configured. For example, you can create a condition and then associate it with a resource or output so that AWS CloudFormation only creates the resource or output if the condition is true. Similarly, you can associate the condition with a property so that AWS CloudFormation only sets the property to a specific value if the condition is true. If the condition is false, AWS CloudFormation sets the property to a different value that you specify.
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.
Since this is clearly given in the documentation, all other options are incorrect.
