News
This article announces two new enhancements to the AWS CloudFormation IaC (Infrastructure as Code) Generator: a graphical resource summary and template preview in Application Composer.
Specifically, the article covers:
- After scanning resources, the IaC Generator now shows a graphical summary of different resource types to help find desired resources for the template
- Selected resources can be previewed in Application Composer, which visualizes the application architecture and resource relationships
- The IaC Generator helps adopt IaC for existing resources created via console/CLI, generating CloudFormation templates or CDK code
- These enhancements are available in AWS Regions where CloudFormation is supported
