Create a github connection for app runner using cloudformation

Question

Hello, folks please help in finding how to create a GitHub connection in cloud formation template for app runner. Actually, I want to deploy my application on apprunner from  the github repo. I can find the option while creating the apprunner to connect to github. But my question is how to do that same thing in the cloudformation.

Answer

As you eluded to, App Runner supports [image deployments directly from ECR](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apprunner/latest/dg/service-source-image.html) or [code deployments directly from GitHub](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apprunner/latest/dg/service-source-code.html#service-source-code.providers) which are recommended.  If you'd prefer to use CloudFormation to deploy your App Runner app from GitHub, you could consider leveraging the [Configure AWS Credentials](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/configure-aws-credentials-action-for-github-actions) and [Deploy CloudFormation Stack](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/aws-cloudformation-deploy-cloudformation-stack-action-for-github-actions) GitHub Actions to do it using a federated AWS Role.
