AWS::AppConfig::Extension

Creates an Amazon AppConfig extension. An extension augments your ability to inject logic or behavior at different points during the Amazon AppConfig workflow of creating or deploying a configuration.

You can create your own extensions or use the Amazon authored extensions provided by Amazon AppConfig. For an Amazon AppConfig extension that uses Amazon Lambda, you must create a Lambda function to perform any computation and processing defined in the extension. If you plan to create custom versions of the Amazon authored notification extensions, you only need to specify an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) in the Uri field for the new extension version.

For a custom EventBridge notification extension, enter the ARN of the EventBridge default events in the Uri field.
For a custom Amazon SNS notification extension, enter the ARN of an Amazon SNS topic in the Uri field.
For a custom Amazon SQS notification extension, enter the ARN of an Amazon SQS message queue in the Uri field.

For more information about extensions, see Extending workflows in the Amazon AppConfig User Guide.

JSON


{
  "Type" : "AWS::AppConfig::Extension",
  "Properties" : {
      "Actions" : [ Action, ... ],
      "Description" : String,
      "LatestVersionNumber" : Integer,
      "Name" : String,
      "Parameters" : {Key: Value, ...},
      "Tags" : [ Tag, ... ]
    }
}

YAML


Type: AWS::AppConfig::Extension
Properties:
  Actions: 
    - Action
  Description: String
  LatestVersionNumber: Integer
  Name: String
  Parameters: 
    Key: Value
  Tags: 
    - Tag

Properties

Actions

The actions defined in the extension.

Required: Yes

Type: Array of Action

Pattern: ^.+$

Update requires: No interruption

Description

Information about the extension.

Required: No

Type: String

Minimum: 0

Maximum: 1024

Update requires: No interruption

LatestVersionNumber

You can omit this field when you create an extension. When you create a new version, specify the most recent current version number. For example, you create version 3, enter 2 for this field.

Required: No

Type: Integer

Update requires: No interruption

Name

A name for the extension. Each extension name in your account must be unique. Extension versions use the same name.

Required: Yes

Type: String

Pattern: ^[^\/#:\n]{1,64}$

Update requires: Replacement

Parameters

The parameters accepted by the extension. You specify parameter values when you associate the extension to an Amazon AppConfig resource by using the CreateExtensionAssociation API action. For Amazon Lambda extension actions, these parameters are included in the Lambda request object.

Required: No

Type: Object of Parameter

Update requires: No interruption

Tags

Adds one or more tags for the specified extension. Tags are metadata that help you categorize resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define.

Required: No

Type: Array of Tag

Update requires: Replacement

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns information about the extension.

Fn::GetAtt

The Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using the Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function, see Fn::GetAtt.

Arn: The system-generated Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the extension.
Id: The system-generated ID of the extension.
VersionNumber: The extension version number.

Examples

Amazon AppConfig create extension example

An extension augments your ability to inject logic or behavior at different points during the Amazon AppConfig workflow of creating or deploying a configuration. You can create your own extensions or use the Amazon authored extensions provided by Amazon AppConfig. The following extension performs an action using Amazon Lambda (as defined by the Uri field) before a configuration version is created by Amazon AppConfig (as defined by the PRE_CREATE_HOSTED_CONFIGURATION_VERSION action point).
