Configure and modify cards in Application Composer
In Application Composer, cards represent resources that you use to design your application architecture. When you configure a card in Application Composer, you define the details of the resources in your application. This includes details like a card's Logical ID and Partition key. The way this information is defined varies between Enhanced component cards and Standard cards.
An Enhanced component card is A collection of AWS CloudFormation resources that have been combined into a single curated card that enhances ease of use, functionality, and are designed for a wide variety of use cases. A Standard IaC resource card represents a single AWS CloudFormation resource. Each standard IaC resource card, once dragged onto the canvas, is labeled Standard component.
This topic provides details on configuring Enhanced component cards and Standard component cards.
Note
Note: This topic applies to using cards from the Application Composer Console, the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code extension, and while in Application Composer in CloudFormation console mode. Lambda-related cards (Lambda Function and Lambda Layer) require code builds and packaging solutions that are not available in Application Composer in CloudFormation console mode. For more information, see Using Application Composer in CloudFormation console mode.
