Today, we announce new updates to the Amazon CloudFormation IaC (Infrastructure as Code) Generator. This update includes a summary of all scanned resources, presented to you before proceeding to create or update your template. This enhancement helps you easily navigate through your list of scanned resources and proceed with template creation with a better understand of what’s included in your account.
The IaC Generator enables you to create CloudFormation templates using existing resources in your Amazon Web Services account. Start by scanning your provisioned resources. Once you review the summary, you can proceed with creating or updating templates without manually going through a list of resources. You can easily search and add them to your template.
After selecting the resources, you can import them into CloudFormation, download the template for deployment, or generate a CDK CLI command that converts the template into a CDK app in your preferred programming language, such as TypeScript or Python. You can then run the CLI command on a host where CDK is installed.
To get started, open the Amazon CloudFormation Console and select the IaC generator in the navigation panel. You can also use the IaC generator from the Amazon Command Line Interface (CLI) and Amazon Software Development Kit (SDK). To learn more
IaC generator is available in all Amazon Web Services Regions where CloudFormation is available, including the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
