The cloudformation team is small bc the people who run it are not fun to work with and not willing to bring on talent with their own opinions. It's a weird irony, dug in and overall detrimental.
The only option teams that need CI/CD for their cloud resources & want to use cloudformation for most of it is to have a side chain process for handling resources that can't be expressed with Cloudformation. (not at all insurmountable but shouldn't be necessary)
- guitarbill 6y agoroughly how many is "small"? 10? 20?
- awsanswers 6y agoVery small - and to be clear this is not supposed to happen at Amazon or AWS it's "disagree and commit" vs "two pizza team". It'll suss out eventually but not soon. Start telling your teams to do what I said above and if anyone tells you "but we want to use one tool" tell them they must grow out of that.

CF is extensible through Lambda (which AWS uses itself for the Serverless Application Model), which if you are going to use CF for this is probably what you bought to do to let you use it for everything, rather than having a “side-chain process”.
