Description

To help users integrate existing cloudformation stacks into a components deployment, we should implement an aws-cloudformation-stack component.

Here is the AWS js sdk documentation for creating a a CloudFormation Stack https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/CloudFormation.html#createStack-property

inputTypes

stackName: string /* required */
capabilities: Array [ CAPABILITY_IAM | CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM ],
clientRequestToken: string
disableRollback: boolean
enableTerminationProtection: boolean
notificationARNs: Array<string>,
onFailure: enum(DO_NOTHING | ROLLBACK | DELETE)
parameters: Array<{ { ParameterKey: string, ParameterValue: string, ResolvedValue: string, UsePreviousValue: boolean } /* more items */ }>
resourceTypes: Array<string>
roleArn: string
rollbackConfiguration: { MonitoringTimeInMinutes: 0, RollbackTriggers: [ { Arn: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */ Type: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */ }, /* more items */ ] }
stackPolicyBody: string
stackPolicyUrl: string
tags: Array<{ Key: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */ Value: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */ }>, templateBody: string templateUrl: string timeoutInMinutes: integer`

outputTypes

stackId: string

I already started working on this

@AaronHarris awesome! thanks for taking this on. Being able to deploy a simple CloudFormation stack through components is a great integration point. One thing to consider as you work on this is how to allow outputs from the CloudFormation stack to be made accessible as outputs in the component. I don't think we need this feature immediately, but something to think about.
