Which statement best describes the difference between using the AWS Management Console and using infrastructure-as-code tools such as AWS CloudFormation or the AWS CDK when deploying AWS resources?
Infrastructure-as-code tools can only be used after resources are first created in the console.
Both the AWS Management Console and infrastructure-as-code tools provide identical automation and version-control capabilities.
The AWS Management Console is best for ad-hoc, manual changes, whereas infrastructure-as-code tools enable automated, repeatable deployments through code templates or libraries.
The AWS Management Console supports JSON/YAML templates for repeatable deployments, while CloudFormation requires point-and-click operations.
The AWS Management Console is a web-based graphical user interface intended for one-time, interactive tasks. Infrastructure-as-code tools, such as AWS CloudFormation or the AWS CDK, let you define resources in code (JSON, YAML, or familiar programming languages) and automate their provisioning in a consistent, repeatable, and version-controlled manner. Therefore, only the choice that highlights the manual nature of the console versus the automated, repeatable nature of IaC tools is correct; the other options incorrectly claim equivalence or reverse the capabilities.
