### CloudFormation Tips
- [Troposphere](https://github.com/cloudtools/troposphere) is a Python library that makes it much easier to create CloudFormation templates.
- Currently supports [AWS](https://github.com/cloudtools/troposphere#currently-supported-aws-resource-types) and [OpenStack](https://github.com/cloudtools/troposphere#currently-supported-openstack-resource-types) resource types.
- Troposphere does not support all of the resources types you can describe with CloudFormation templates.
- Built in [error](https://github.com/cloudtools/troposphere#examples-of-the-error-checking-full-tracebacks-removed-for-clarity) checking.
- A recommended soft dependency is [awacs](https://github.com/cloudtools/awacs), which allows you to generate AWS access policy in JSON by writing Python code.
- 🔹Until [2016](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2016/09/aws-cloudformation-introduces-yaml-template-support-and-cross-stack-references/), CloudFormation used only an awkward JSON format that makes both reading and debugging difficult. To use it effectively typically involved building additional tooling, including converting it to YAML, but now [this is supported directly](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/template-formats.html).
- CloudFormation can be set up to [send SNS notifications](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/cfn-console-add-tags.html) upon state changes, enabling programatic handling of situations where stacks fail to build, or simple email alerts so the appropriate people are informed.
- CloudFormation allows the use of [**conditionals**](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/conditions-section-structure.html) when creating a stack.
