Transform reference

Transforms are macros hosted by CloudFormation. Unlike custom macros, a transform doesn't require any special permissions to use it because it is hosted by CloudFormation. Transforms can be used in templates in any account within CloudFormation. Also, there is no charge incurred when using transforms. CloudFormation treats a transform the same as any other macro in terms of evaluation order and scope.

For more information about how macros work, see Using CloudFormation macros to perform custom processing on templates in the Amazon CloudFormation User Guide.

You can use the following transforms in your CloudFormation templates.
