It provides high-level constructs that wrap CloudFormation resources, letting you compose AWS resources imperatively and synthesize them into CloudFormation templates for deployment. The package depends on core CDK modules (aws-cdk.core, aws-cdk.cx-api, constructs) and other AWS service modules (IAM, Lambda, S3, SNS) to enable multi-service infrastructure definitions.\n\nYou use it by importing constructs, instantiating them within a Stack, and then using the CDK CLI to synthesize or deploy. The package is part of the v1 line, which is marked inactive in its classifiers; AWS CDK v2 is the current recommended version for new projects. This module is suitable for maintaining existing v1 infrastructure code or for teams already invested in the v1 API.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are maintaining or extending existing AWS CDK v1 Python infrastructure code. No, if starting a new project\u2014use AWS CDK v2 instead. The package is stable and permissively licensed, but its v1 status and inactive classifier indicate it is not receiving new feature development. Install only when required by an existing codebase or explicit organizational constraint."},"id":"aws-cdk-aws-cloudformation","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-cdk-aws-cloudformation","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-cdk-aws-cloudformation.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aws-cdk-aws-cloudformation/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-06-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aws-cdk.aws-cloudformation","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The CDK Construct Library for AWS::CloudFormation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":160142,"position":10671,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.204.0"}
