Amazon Web Services’ AWS CloudFormation Infrastructure tool Boosts Import Functionality. More Amazon Web Services has been busy updating AWS CloudFormation, which is used to describe and provision infrastructure resources for cloud environments. AWS CloudFormation is a common language that allows organizations to model their cloud infrastructure using either text files or programming languages. AWS states that codifying your infrastructure allows you treat your infrastructure like code. You can create it using any code editor, then check it into a version management system and share the files with your team members before you deploy it to production. AWS recently announced a new resource-import feature that allows enterprises to import existing application resources into CloudFormation. It also provides updates for working with other AWS service. AWS CloudFormation has announced the resource import feature. This allows you to import existing AWS resources into CloudFormation. This launch allows you to manage existing resources like DynamoDB tables or Amazon S3 Buckets with all the benefits that CloudFormation offers, regardless of how they were managed or created. These resources can now be used to automate large scale tasks, rather than relying on manual processes and maintaining custom scripts. “With resource import you can also refactor existing CloudFormation platforms and rename CloudFormation ressources. You can modify how resources are grouped during CloudFormation updates, for example. This can be done using the AWS CloudFormation Management console as well as the AWS SDKs or the AWS CLI.
