Pseudo Parameters

AWS CloudFormation Pseudo Parameters are predeclared values you can use in your template.

Pseudo parameters are parameters AWS CloudFormation declares for you. You can use them without having to declare them in your template. AWS CloudFormation declares several pseudo parameters that you can use anywhere you might use a parameter name or logical resource name.

The following pseudo parameters are supported by AWS CloudFormation:

NameDescription

AWS::Region
