Create IAM Roles Anywhere resources with Amazon CloudFormation

Amazon Identity and Access Management Roles Anywhere is integrated with Amazon CloudFormation, a service that helps you to model and set up your Amazon resources so that you can spend less time creating and managing your resources and infrastructure. You create a template that describes all the Amazon resources that you want (such as AWS::RolesAnywhere::Crl, AWS::RolesAnywhere::Profile, and AWS::RolesAnywhere::TrustAnchor), and Amazon CloudFormation provisions and configures those resources for you.

When you use Amazon CloudFormation, you can reuse your template to set up your IAM Roles Anywhere resources consistently and repeatedly. Describe your resources once, and then provision the same resources over and over in multiple Amazon Web Services accounts and Regions.

IAM Roles Anywhere and Amazon CloudFormation templates

To provision and configure resources for IAM Roles Anywhere and related services, you must understand Amazon CloudFormation templates. Templates are formatted text files in JSON or YAML. These templates describe the resources that you want to provision in your Amazon CloudFormation stacks. If you're unfamiliar with JSON or YAML, you can use Amazon CloudFormation Designer to help you get started with Amazon CloudFormation templates. For more information, see What is Amazon CloudFormation Designer? in the Amazon CloudFormation User Guide.

IAM Roles Anywhere supports creating certificate revocation lists, trust anchors, and profiles in Amazon CloudFormation. For more information, including examples of JSON and YAML templates for CRL, TrustAnchor, and Profile, see the Amazon CloudFormation User Guide.
