AWS CloudFormation Git sync now supports pull request workflows to review your stack changes

AWS CloudFormation Git sync now allows you to review your stack changes via Pull Request (PR) comments before they are deployed to CloudFormation. With this launch, you get a clear overview of the changes in your deployments within the PR. CloudFormation Git sync will automatically post the change set information as comments to each new PR created or updated in your repository. You are able to review the proposed changes and then deploy the changes by merging the PR.

CloudFormation allows you to use a template file to manage the configuration of your resources as a stack. Using Git sync, you can store this template in a remote Git repository and have your CloudFormation stacks automatically updated. CloudFormation monitors your Git repository and triggers a change set deployment whenever it detects a change in any template file that defines a stack, and/or a stack deployment file that contains parameters that configure the stack. With this launch, you can catch and prevent undesired changes from being deployed through a PR review of the change. You can enable this feature from either the console or CLI.

This feature is available in the following regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Paris), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Milan), Europe (Stockholm), and South America (São Paulo).
