Heroku is a good comparison. Beanstalk is a way to specify the resources you need without needing to understand aws very well - AWS automagically provisions things for you and replaces instances when they become unhealthy. Compare to CloudFront, which as the declarative way to specify what you need but requires you to know AWS in depth.

I think you mean CloudFormation, not CloudFront?
