About
troposphere - library to create AWS CloudFormation descriptions
The troposphere library allows for easier creation of the AWS CloudFormation JSON by writing Python code to describe the AWS resources. troposphere also includes some basic support for OpenStack resources via Heat.
To facilitate catching CloudFormation or JSON errors early the library has property and type checking built into the classes.
Installation
troposphere can be installed using the pip distribution system for Python by issuing:
$ pip install troposphereTo install troposphere with awacs (recommended soft dependency):
$ pip install troposphere[policy]Alternatively, you can use setup.py to install by cloning this repository and issuing:
$ python setup.py install # you may need sudo depending on your python installationExamples
A simple example to create an instance would look like this:
>>> from troposphere import Ref, Template
>>> import troposphere.ec2 as ec2
>>> t = Template()
>>> instance = ec2.Instance("myinstance")
>>> instance.ImageId = "ami-951945d0"
>>> instance.InstanceType = "t1.micro"
>>> t.add_resource(instance)
<troposphere.ec2.Instance object at 0x101bf3390>
>>> print(t.to_json())
{
"Resources": {
"myinstance": {
"Properties": {
"ImageId": "ami-951945d0",
"InstanceType": "t1.micro"
},
"Type": "AWS::EC2::Instance"
}
}
}
>>> print(t.to_yaml())
Resources:
myinstance:
Properties:
ImageId: ami-951945d0
InstanceType: t1.micro
Type: AWS::EC2::InstanceAlternatively, parameters can be used instead of properties:
>>> instance = ec2.Instance("myinstance", ImageId="ami-951945d0", InstanceType="t1.micro")
>>> t.add_resource(instance)
<troposphere.ec2.Instance object at 0x101bf3550>And add_resource() returns the object to make it easy to use with Ref():
>>> instance = t.add_resource(ec2.Instance("myinstance", ImageId="ami-951945d0", InstanceType="t1.micro"))
>>> Ref(instance)
<troposphere.Ref object at 0x101bf3490>Examples of the error checking (full tracebacks removed for clarity):
Incorrect property being set on AWS resource:
>>> import troposphere.ec2 as ec2
>>> ec2.Instance("ec2instance", image="i-XXXX")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AttributeError: AWS::EC2::Instance object does not support attribute imageIncorrect type for AWS resource property:
>>> ec2.Instance("ec2instance", ImageId=1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: ImageId is <type 'int'>, expected <type 'basestring'>Missing required property for the AWS resource:
>>> from troposphere import Template
>>> import troposphere.ec2 as ec2
>>> t = Template()
>>> t.add_resource(ec2.Subnet("ec2subnet", VpcId="vpcid"))
<troposphere.ec2.Subnet object at 0x100830ed0>
>>> print(t.to_json())
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: Resource CidrBlock required in type AWS::EC2::Subnet (title: ec2subnet)Currently supported resource types
