AWS CloudFormation
Inspect and manage CloudFormation stacks (SigV4).
OCNORA ships 3 typed AWS CloudFormation operations. Each node has a schema-driven form, input and output tables beside its settings, and is pre-flighted by Workflow Health before your first real run.
Before you connect AWS CloudFormation
- Authentication
- API key
- Credential
- {"access_key_id", "secret_access_key"}
- Connection test
- Available: the stored credential can be checked against the provider when you add it. This is not a record that a test was run or passed.
What you can do with AWS CloudFormation
Operations, grouped by what they do to your data.
A sample AWS CloudFormation workflow
- 1A core triggerStart the run from a chat, form, manual, schedule, webhook, workflow trigger — no AWS CloudFormation trigger is needed.
- 2Describe Stackscloudformation.describe_stacksRead stack status and outputs.
- 3Create Stackcloudformation.create_stackCreate a stack from a template.
An outline built from this provider’s node contracts, not a recorded run. Each step’s output fields are available to the next in the field picker.
Every node below has a reference page: what it does, the connection it needs, its config fields with types, constraints and examples, and the shapes it emits.
AWS CloudFormation questions
- How does OCNORA authenticate with AWS CloudFormation?
- With a stored API key credential, shaped {"access_key_id", "secret_access_key"}. A connection test can check it when you add it.
- What can I automate with AWS CloudFormation?
- 3 typed operations, each with a reference page listing its config fields and the shapes it emits.
- What if the AWS CloudFormation operation I need is not listed?
- Where AWS CloudFormation has an HTTP API, call it from the HTTP node with the same credential, or describe the step to the AI builder, which asks our team for a typed node when one is missing.
- Are there templates that use AWS CloudFormation?
- Not yet. Start from a blank workflow, or describe the workflow to Build with AI.
- How are AWS CloudFormation calls controlled?
- Every call and every run step is audited, runs count against the execution budget, and Workflow Health pre-flights the workflow when you save it.
