Part 3: Extending CloudFormation

CloudFormation has its limits. In this final part, we will teach it to do more than just provision resources in AWS. We will start with custom resources, template macros, nested stacks, and modules as our first step in CloudFormation customization. Once we’re done with this, we will briefly touch on its possible successor, AWS CDK, and a new way of provisioning serverless applications called SAM.

The following chapters will be covered in this part:

  • Chapter 7, Creating Resources Outside AWS Using Custom Resources
  • Chapter 8, Creating Your Own Resource Registry for CloudFormation
  • Chapter 9, Scale Your Templates Using Macros, Nested Stacks, and Modules
  • Chapter 10, Generating CloudFormation Templates Using AWS CDK ...
