I have a CloudFormation template that looks something like the following:
AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'
Parameters:
env:
Type: String
Default: NONE
Resources:
GraphQLAPI:
Type: AWS::AppSync::GraphQLApi
Properties:
Name: !Sub 'my-api-${env}'
AuthenticationType: AMAZON_COGNITO_USER_POOLS
UserPoolConfig:
UserPoolId: <something>
AwsRegion: !Ref AWS::Region
DefaultAction: ALLOW
Suppose that I already have a SSM parameter named /dev/cognitoUserPoolId
. When I create this template, passing env=dev, I want to use the value of that parameter as the UserPoolId
. I want to avoid manually passing a new CFN parameter for every SSM parameter, as there may be quite a few in practice.
You should be able to use dynamic references to the SSM parameters in your template.
Something like:
AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'
