Combining `aws-cf-modules` and `cfn-modules` #34

Closed ambsw-technology closed 4 years ago

TL;DR we're creating shims that make it possible to use the two systems together.

We started on aws-cf-modules because we were new to CF and needed features (e.g. cloudmap for ecs) that were only found there. We have finally reached the point that we need features (e.g. nlb) not found there, When possible, I decided to use cfn-modules so we can benefit from new features on either side of the fence.

Since the interfaces for the two systems differ, I started creating shims that allow an object created in one of these packages to be used in another. I know this isn't a traditional issue with cfn-moduels, but figured it would help future users find the shims.

We'd be willing to contribute the code to either library if there's any interest. For example, the vpc module could be updated to include module.yml, from-aws-cf-modules.yml, and to-aws-cf-modules.yml.

Let's see how often the shims are used. If this is a use case that many people are faced with I'm happy to include them in the modules directly. Thanks @ambsw-technology
