Join us for a CloudFormation Office Hours Hangout

We’re hosting CloudFormation Office Hours next week at 9:00a.m. PST on Thursday, January 30th and you’re invited!

Sign up or learn more at http://bit.ly/cfnoh2_bg 

We’ll be joined by a CloudFormation software engineer to learn about authenticated file downloads in cfn-init. We’ll also look at top forum items, and – of course – answer your questions, live!

Previous Sessions

Last month we hosted our first CloudFormation Hangout to summarize the new features that CloudFormation saw in 2013 and to give you a chance to ask questions. We held another Hangout last week where we discussed Mustache support in CloudFormation, reviewed a few top forum posts, and again took your questions. If you missed either of those sessions, all of the content – including agenda, samples, templates, and a recording of the session – are available on GitHub
