AWS::CloudFormation::Type

[troyready]

Scope of request

AWS::CloudFormation::Type - can create resource via API, but not via CloudFormation

Expected behavior

In Create, it should register the type and set it as the default version

In Update, it should register a new type (using the same name), set it as the default version, and deregister the old version

In Delete, it should deregister the current version

Updates to the resource changing the name should be rejected.

This was actually already requested, but I moved the issue over here

I have a PR up for schema discussion in that repo, feel free to chime in 👍

I have a basic codebase nearly ready to add there too.

Is this now resolved from this merge? aws-cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-resource-providers-cloudformation#4

[benkehoe]

It's only resolved once it ships in CloudFormation proper. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/AWS_CloudFormation.html

Any word on when this actually going live?

CloudFormation now supports the following resources:
AWS::CloudFormation::ResourceDefaultVersion
AWS::CloudFormation::ResourceVersion

Thank you!
