Lambda Hooks - Amazon CloudFormation
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Lambda Hooks

To use an Amazon Lambda Hook in your account, you must first activate the Hook for the account and Region where you want to use it. Activating a Hook makes it usable in stack operations in the account and Region where it's activated.

When you activate a Lambda Hook, CloudFormation creates an entry in your account's registry for the activated Hook as a private Hook. This allows you to set any configuration properties the Hook includes. Configuration properties define how the Hook is configured for a given Amazon Web Services account and Region.
