Resources that support import and drift detection operations
AWS CloudFormation supports resource import and drift detection operations for the following public (AWS) resource types.
In addition, CloudFormation supports import and drift detection operations for private
resource types that are provisionable; that is, whose provisioning
type is either FULLY_MUTABLE or IMMUTABLE. To import or
perform drift detection on a resource of a private resource type, the default version of
the resource type that you have registered in your account must be
provisionable. For more information about resource provision type, see the
ProvisioningType parameter of the DescribeType action in the AWS CloudFormation API Reference and of the DescribeType command in the AWS CLI Command Reference.
For more information about drift detection, see Detecting unmanaged configuration changes to stacks and resources.
Note
The following list contains provisioning type that are either
FULLY_MUTABLE or IMMUTABLE, and not
NON_PROVISIONABLE types. FULLY_MUTABLE and
IMMUTABLE types contain (CRUDL) handlers and can be verified
for import and drift detection operations, whereas NON_PROVISIONABLE
types don't contain handlers, and can't be verified for import or drift detection
operations.
