AWS – AWS CloudFormation Hooks’ new invocation targets and managed Hooks are available in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

AWS CloudFormation Hooks now supports three new invocation points for stacks, change sets, and AWS Cloud Control API (CCAPI) in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. You can now evaluate CloudFormation create/update/delete stack and change set operations, and CCAPI create/update operations. With this launch, you can standardize your proactive evaluations beyond CloudFormation resource properties by enabling safety checks that consider the entire context of a stack, a CloudFormation change set, and/or a CCAPI resource configuration.

CloudFormation Hooks also extended two new managed hooks to the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. The managed Lambda and Guard Hook simplify your hooks authoring experience by pointing to an AWS Lambda function or an S3 bucket containing AWS CloudFormation Guard domain specific language rules. Today’s launch allows GovCloud customers and partners to leverage the new invocation points and the new managed hooks to help enforce organizational best practices easily and minimize the risk of non-compliant resources being provisioned.

With this launch, all CloudFormation Hooks’ features are available in 32 AWS regions globally: US East (Ohio, N. Virginia), US West (N. California, Oregon), Canada (Central, Calgary), Asia Pacific (Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Osaka, Jakarta, Hyderabad, Malaysia, Sydney, Melbourne), Europe (Ireland, Stockholm, Frankfurt, Milan, London, Zurich, Paris, Spain), Middle East (UAE, Bahrain, Tel Aviv), South America (São Paulo), Africa (Cape Town), and the AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions.

To get started, you can use the new Hooks console workflow within the CloudFormation console, AWS CLI, or new CloudFormation Hooks resources. To learn more, refer to Hooks User Guide.
