Comformation.NET

Compose AWS CloudFormation templates with .NET

This library helps you to compose AWS CloudFormation templates with C#.
It supports ALL resources available in AWS CloudFormation templates.
Supports Intrinsic Functions.
All properties are strong typed. No open dynamic or object types. Allowed property types validated in compile time.
Based on official AWS CloudFormation templates specification.

Show me the code

This is a sample of Comformation library usage.
The generated template plays arround mappings, input and output parameters.
The template creates S3 bucket whose name generated using combination of several intrinsic functions.
For a full code sample see CreateStackTest.cs

Install Nuget package

Install-Package Comformation

then:

var template = new Template
