AWS CloudFormation Advance from Cloudsoft

Resources are critical to developers and other users building solutions in AWS allowing them to quickly provision and manage cloud resources using infrastructure-as-code with CloudFormation. Customer cloud teams can scale infrastructure wordwide, across all their AWS accounts and regions through a single, familiar operation. Customers trust CloudFormation to distribute approved applications, automate resource management across their organisation and ensure that services align with best practive and governance controls.

Offering resources for your services in the CloudFormation Registry to AWS customers offers a painfree way for them to integrate your services safely into their portfolio and speed up provisioning by automating common tasks such as configuring users, provisioning features or integrating with incident management. But building CloudFormation resources requires time and effort from your busy developer teams, knowledge of the AWS process and understanding of the steps needed to ensure your resource meets AWS framework expectations.

The Advance process will help you to:

Choose & Curate:

Cloudsoft will consult with you to identify the resources that you want to create. This includes:

• Defining at the most common, repeatable resources
• Evaluating current resources, e.g. Terraform resources
• Defining CRUDL (Create/Read/Update/List/Delete) operations in the API
• Understanding linkages beween resources

Create

Cloudsoft will develop and document your resources including:

• Creating Git repositories that will allow you to fully own the codebase after developement.
• Building the resources in Java, Python, Go or Typescript. (Typescript is preferred as it has some natural advantages over other languages).
• Building reources that can be created, read, deleted and more.
• Providing documentation familiar to any CloudFormation user.

We offer a number of packages so you can either start small, deliver a compelling number of resources or take a big bang approach.

Test Cloudsoft are experienced at testing using the AWS testing framework. This ensures that resources can be easily published on the CloudFormation Registry. We've also been testing upcoming frameworks so ensure your resources are future proofed.

Provision & Knowledge Transfer We can walk you through publishing resources for you and ensure that your teams fully understand the resources provided so you are ready to support resources from this point on or we can publish resources for you so you can get these into prospective customer hands sooner.
