AWS CloudFormation Adds Support for Amazon API Gateway and Updated Resource Support

Posted on: Apr 18, 2016

You can now provision Amazon API Gateway using AWS CloudFormation. API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. Learn more here. 

CloudFormation has also updated support for two services. You can now use the following features with CloudFormation:

• Amazon CloudWatch Events rules: Create rules that define which AWS system events are routed to and processed by a target, such as AWS Lambda functions or Amazon SNS topics. You can also use rules to schedule when a target is activated.
• AWS WAF updates:
  
  o Cross-site scripting match conditions: Configure the parts of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect for cross-site scripting attacks.
  o Size constraint conditions: Set size constraints to let AWS WAF allow, block, or count web requests based on the lengths of specified parts of the requests.
