CloudFormation has an “easy button” if you are part of an organization with a business support plan from AWS. If you can’t figure out something you can submit a ticket and start a chat.

Also CF is the “native” language of AWS. There are plenty of getting started examples from AWS where they give you the template. Also Elastic Beanstalk extensibility is built on top of CF.

Not to mention Codestar that will set up environments for you for common use cases and exports templates and the lambda environment lets you configure everything from the console, test it and then you can export the CF definition.
