# Accessing CloudFormation with the AWS SDK for .NET
<a name="cloudformation-apis-intro"></a>

The AWS SDK for .NET supports [AWS CloudFormation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/), which creates and provisions AWS infrastructure deployments predictably and repeatedly.

## APIs
<a name="w2aac19c15c11b5"></a>

The AWS SDK for .NET provides APIs for CloudFormation clients. The APIs enable you to work with CloudFormation features such as templates and stacks. This section contains a small number of examples that show you the patterns you can follow when working with these APIs. To view the full set of APIs, see the [AWS SDK for .NET API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkfornet/v3/apidocs/) (and scroll to "Amazon.CloudFormation").

The AWS CloudFormation APIs are provided by the [AWSSDK.CloudFormation](https://www.nuget.org/packages/AWSSDK.CloudFormation/) package.

## Prerequisites
