DevOps Unleashed

Have you ever created a AWS resource manually in the console, then tried to re-create the resource in CloudFormation? Its kind of a pain!

• IAC (CloudFormation) Generator Process
  • https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/generate-IaC.html

The generator process can scan your AWS account and find resources not backed by CloudFormation and generate CloudFormation templates. You will have the ability to download the templates if you want.

Instructions

• Go to CloudFormation console
• Select IAC Generator
• Start a new scan
• Review finished scan
• Select resources
• Preview and download template(s)

You can also utilize the AWS CLI to perform scans using start-resource-scan.
