Perform cfn template validation in different region #66

Open mrichnu opened 3 years ago

mrichnu commented 3 years ago

We use this solution to deploy customizations in our home region of us-east-2, but are trying to use it to deploy Cost Anomaly Monitors and subscriptions across all of our accounts. The build stage of the pipeline fails when including a template containing the AWS::CE::AnomalyMonitor resource however, as it only exists in us-east-1 and the validation/run-validation.sh script calls aws cloudformation validate-template with the region parameter set to "$AWS_REGION", which is presumably the region the pipeline itself is running in.

Ideally we would like to have this solution validate templates only in the region(s) they will be deployed in (IE the region(s) listed for each named template in the manifest.yaml file). As an alternative it would be nice to be able to either manually skip validation for a template or specify the region to validate the template in.

Thanks for creating the feature request. We have added this our backlog.

Feature: Validate the template in the region(s) where it is intended to deploy.
