Resource type support
AWS CloudFormation supports resource import, drift detection, and IaC generator (infrastructure as code generator) 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 describe-type
command in the
AWS CLI Command Reference.
For more information about resource import, see Bringing existing resources into CloudFormation management.
For more information about resource drift detection, see Detecting unmanaged configuration changes to stacks and resources.
For more information about the IaC generator, see Generating templates for existing resources. Note that IaC generator only supports resources that are supported by Cloud Control API in your Region. For more information, see Determining if a resource type supports Cloud Control API in the Cloud Control API User Guide.
