Amazon S3 Template Snippets

This example uses a AWS::S3::Bucket to create a bucket with default settings.

"myS3Bucket" : {
      "Type" : "AWS::S3::Bucket"
      }

This example creates a bucket as a website. The AccessControl property is set to the canned ACL PublicRead (public read permissions are required for buckets set up for website hosting). Because this bucket resource has a DeletionPolicy attribute set to Retain, AWS CloudFormation will not delete this bucket when it deletes the stack. The Output section uses Fn::GetAtt to retrieve the WebsiteURL attribute and DomainName attribute of the S3Bucket resource.
