Standard IaC resource cards

All AWS CloudFormation resources are available to use as standard IaC resource cards from the Resources palette. When you drag a standard IaC resource card onto the canvas, a standard IaC resource card becomes a standard component card, and this prompts Application Composer to create a starting template for your resource in your application. The following is an example starting template of an Alexa::ASK::Skill standard IaC resource:

Resources:
  Skill:
    Type: Alexa::ASK::Skill
    Properties:
      AuthenticationConfiguration:
        RefreshToken: <String>
        ClientSecret: <String>
        ClientId: <String>
      VendorId: <String>
      SkillPackage:
        S3Bucket: <String>
        S3Key: <String>

A standard IaC resource card starting template consists of the following:

• The AWS CloudFormation resource type.

• Required or commonly used properties.

• The required type of the value to provide for each property.
