Correct answer: AWS CloudFormation.
Why this is the answer
AWS CloudFormation allows you to define your AWS infrastructure as code in a template. This enables you to provision and manage a collection of related AWS resources in an orderly and predictable way, making it ideal for creating reusable templates for consistent deployments. AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog where customers can find, buy, and deploy third-party software. An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a template that contains a software configuration (operating system, application server, and applications) to launch an EC2 instance, not for provisioning multiple diverse AWS resources. AWS OpsWorks is a configuration management service that uses Chef and Puppet to automate server configuration, deployment, and management, which is more focused on application management rather than infrastructure provisioning.
