Directive_Template

Template (New-CfnTemplate)

SYNOPSIS

A template describes your AWS infrastructure.

SYNTAX

New-CfnTemplate [-TemplateBlock] <ScriptBlock> [-Version <String>] [-Description <String>] [-Metadata <IDictionary>] [-JSON] [-Compress] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Templates include several major sections. The Resources section is the only section that is required:

• Parameters
• Mappings
• Conditions
• Resources
• Outputs

Some sections in a template can be in any order. However, as you build your template, it might be helpful to use the logical ordering of the previous example, as values in one section might refer to values from a previous section.
