Is there a mechanism/framework available to generate code from a CloudFormation template?

    Can you clarify your question? You want to generate a CloudFormation template with code? The other way around? – jogold Apr 23 '19 at 19:55
  • 'generate code from CloudFormation template'. I want to start with a template, and then generate the code (java, python, etc.) that would create that template. – Gary Sharpe Apr 30 '19 at 17:56

    Have a look at https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cdk and https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cdk/blob/master/packages/cdk-dasm/README.md – jogold May 01 '19 at 07:25

There are two tools:

  • Troposphere is a Python library to create CloudFormation stacks from Python code.
  • CDK is a JavaScript library to create CloudFormation stacks from JavaScript / TypeScript code.
