About:
The CloudFormation CLI is a toolkit designed for developers to build and maintain CloudFormation resource providers. It streamlines the creation of resource schemas, generates boilerplate code for handlers, and provides a local invocation framework for testing providers without deploying to AWS.
Key Features:
  • Scaffolds resource provider projects from schemas
  • Generates standardized code for Python, Java, and Go
  • Provides a local test runner for provider handlers
Use Cases:
  • Developing custom CloudFormation resources for AWS services
  • Testing resource provider logic locally before deployment
  • Generating boilerplate code to accelerate provider development
Alternatives:
  • AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) – CDK defines infrastructure via code, whereas this CLI is specifically for building the CloudFormation resource providers themselves.
