The AWS Deployment Framework (ADF) is an extensive and flexible framework to manage and deploy resources across multiple AWS accounts and regions within an AWS Organization.

ADF allows for staged, parallel, multi-account, cross-region deployments of applications or resources via the structure defined in AWS Organizations while taking advantage of services such as AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodeCommit to alleviate the heavy lifting and management compared to a traditional CI/CD setup.

ADF allows for clearly defined deployment and approval stages which are stored in a centralized configuration file. It also allows for account based bootstrapping, by which you define an AWS CloudFormation template and assign it to a specific Organization Unit (OU) within AWS Organizations. From there, any account you move into this OU will automatically apply this template as its baseline.
