# CloudFormation Support
> Manage AWS CloudFormation stacks in env zero with continuous deployment, RBAC policies, custom flows, and workflow orchestration alongside other IaC tools.
We're happy to announce that from today, CloudFormation joins Terraform, Terragrunt, Pulumi, and Kubernetes as a core IaC tool supported in env zero! [AWS CloudFormation](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/) lets you model, provision, and manage AWS and third-party resources by treating infrastructure as code. With CloudFormation, you declare all your resources and dependencies in a template file. The template defines a collection of resources as a single unit called a stack. CloudFormation creates and deletes all member resources of the stack together and manages all dependencies between the resources for you.
Manage your CloudFormation stack within env zero, to enjoy [features](/guides/getting-started/getting-started), such as [Continuous Deployment](/guides/admin-guide/environments/continuous-deployment), [Policies](/guides/policies-governance/policies) and [RBAC](/guides/admin-guide/user-role-and-team-management/rbac). You can also use [Custom Flows](/guides/admin-guide/custom-flows) to alter the deployment by running commands, or [Workflows](/guides/admin-guide/workflows) to orchestrate multiple IaC stacks and dependencies between them.
### Get Started
CloudFormation uses either YAML or JSON template file to describe the resources that are managed by it.
To manage your CloudFormation stack using env zero, you will need to create a new CloudFormation template, or run an [environment without template](/guides/admin-guide/environments/setting-up-a-new-environment#based-on-a-direct-vcs-integration) and choose type CloudFormation.
