AWS::CloudFormation

AWS::CloudFormation::Stack

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-stack.html

AWS::CloudFormation::Stack enables nesting another stack as a resource within a template.

AWS::CodeBuild

AWS::CodeBuild::Project

Note that if the "Name" property is used, the physical ID of the created CodeBuild project will use that value, otherwise the name will be generated with the pattern CodeBuildProjectLogicalID-apCFy5I1KyH8. Recommended name:

Resources:
  CodeBuildProject:
    Type: AWS::CodeBuild::Project
    Properties:
      Name: !Ref AWS::StackName

For an example of a CodeBuild build project that integrates with a CodePipeline see:

CodePipeline-Driven CodeBuild Builds

AWS::CodePipeline

AWS::CodePipeline::Pipeline

Pipeline Structure

Creates a CodePipeline pipeline. Other pipeline examples:

Pipeline that Delegates the Build to the CodeBuild Build Project

Note that if the "Name" property is used, the physical ID of the created pipeline will use that value, otherwise the name will be generated with the pattern stack-name-Pipeline-24RCYXM52UE6A. Recommended name:

Resources:
  Pipeline:
    Type: AWS::CodePipeline::Pipeline
    Properties:
      Name: !Ref AWS::StackName

AWS::EC2

AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup

Create a Security Group with CloudFormation

AWS::ECR

AWS::ECR::Repository

AWS::ECR::Repository

Resources:
  Repository:
    Type: AWS::ECR::Repository
    Properties:
      RepositoryName: some-docker-repository-name

AWS::ECS

Amazon ECS Deployment with CloudFormation

AWS::ElasticLoadBalancingV2

AWS Elastic Load Balancing V2 Deployment with CloudFormation

AWS::IAM

AWS::IAM::Role

Role

The following sequence creates an IAM Role:

Resources:
  CodeBuildServiceRole:
    Type: AWS::IAM::Role
    Properties:
      RoleName: !Sub '${AWS::StackName}-codebuild-service-role'
      Description: A description of the role.
      Path: '/service-role/'
      AssumeRolePolicyDocument:
        Version: '2012-10-17'
        Statement:
          - Effect: 'Allow'
            Principal:
              Service:
                - "codebuild.amazonaws.com"
            Action:
              - "sts:AssumeRole"
      Policies:
        - PolicyName: 'aggregated-inline-policy'
          PolicyDocument:
            Version: '2012-10-17'
            Statement:
              - Effect: 'Allow'
                Action:
                  - 's3:ListBucket'
                Resource:
                  - '*'

Naming. If this role is declared by a "thalarion" stack, then, after successful creation, the role's physical ID will be "thalarion-CodeBuildServiceRole-A479B6WNRHSSG". A custom name can be forced with the "RoleName", as shown above.

AWS::Lambda

AWS Lambda Create a Lambda Function with CloudFromation

AWS::Logs

AWS::Logs::LogGroup

CloudWatch Operations

AWS::S3

AWS::S3::Bucket

AWS::S3::Bucket

Resources:
  TestBucket:
    Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
    Properties:
      BucketName: !Sub '${AWS::StackName}-test-bucket'
      AccessControl: BucketOwnerFullControl

Naming If no "BucketName" property is specified, the bucket will be named based on the pattern <stack-name>-<resource-name-all-lowercases>-2a3et4c9f3bas. A custom name can be set with "BucketName".
