How can AWS CloudFormation help? #19

Open cdandekar opened 9 years ago

Cumulus contributors and users,

Is there anything the AWS CloudFormation service could provide that can help in using and enhancing cumulus? (For example, any additional API, any update to the template format, etc.)

Sincerely, The AWS CloudFormation Team

Hi The AWS CloudFormation Team

i would love a NOOP api. something we could use to test that a cloudformation is valid and wont error because a mandatory parameter is missing or in the wrong place.

@techlunacy , Thanks. For validating parameters, take a look at the recently added parameter types: http://blogs.aws.amazon.com/application-management/post/Tx3DV2UYG9SC38G/Using-the-New-CloudFormation-Parameter-Types

Hi @cdandekar - We'd like to be able to generate our ELBs pre-warmed with Cloudformation. Echoing @techlunacy comments, NOOP functionality would also be a critical feature in our CF use detailing intended actions.

+1 on the NOOP, it would be nice to know if some change intended to be minor is actually going to take out a master RDS database.
