CloudFormationInit Class
A CloudFormation-init configuration.
Example
ts
declare const vpc: ec2.Vpc;
declare const instanceType: ec2.InstanceType;
new ec2.Instance(this, 'Instance', {
vpc,
instanceType,
machineImage: ec2.MachineImage.latestAmazonLinux2023(),
init: ec2.CloudFormationInit.fromElements(
// Create a simple config file that runs a Python web server
ec2.InitService.systemdConfigFile('simpleserver', {
command: '/usr/bin/python3 -m http.server 8080',
cwd: '/var/www/html',
}),
// Start the server using SystemD
ec2.InitService.enable('simpleserver', {
serviceManager: ec2.ServiceManager.SYSTEMD,
}),
// Drop an example file to show the web server working
ec2.InitFile.fromString('/var/www/html/index.html', 'Hello! It\'s working!'),
),
});

The new configset will reference the given configs in the given order.

notes
As an app builder, use instance.applyCloudFormationInit() or autoScalingGroup.applyCloudFormationInit() to trigger this method.
This method does the following:
- Renders the
AWS::CloudFormation::Initobject to the given resource's metadata, potentially adding aAWS::CloudFormation::Authenticationobject next to it if required. - Updates the instance role policy to be able to call the APIs required for
cfn-initandcfn-signalto work, and potentially add permissions to download referenced asset and bucket resources. - Updates the given UserData with commands to execute the
cfn-initscript.
