CloudFormation support for InstanceConnectEndpoint

Hello Wanderer,

Not normal but possible. Could find a similar Twitter post on other resource type: https://twitter.com/sshvetsov/status/1370641664260239362?lang=en

Have you tried in which region?

The supported endpoints are https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/ec2-instance-connect.html

From experience I see support is first added to us-east-1, eu-west-1 and ap-southeast-1 then rolled out to other regions, maybe trying launching it in us-east-1 to confirm the doubt? Thanks!

I have tried us-east-1, us-west-1 and eu-west-2. The instance endpoint, when provisioned through the web console, works perfectly fine. Just the CloudFormation issue persists.

Strange that they'd add it to CloudFormation docs when CloudFormation doesn't support it yet.

AWS seem to have deleted the AWS::EC2::InstanceConnectEndpoint line from CloudFormation Release Notes!

It is annoying when you see a new feature and would want to try it out right now, and then cfn support isn’t there. Here is how I solved similar issue with ECR scan-on-push -feature. This should be applicabld for the endpoint as well. It isn’t the same as native support but rather simple to do while waiting native support. https://carriagereturn.nl/aws/ecr/scanonpush/cloudformation/custom/2019/11/07/ecr-scanonpush.html

While there isn't yet Cloudformation support for Instance Connect Endpoints, you can follow this GitHub issue to stay up-to-date of it's progress. https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-coverage-roadmap/issues/1749
