Hi, i need help using CloudFormation to add a CodeCommit Approval Rule Template

Accepted Answer

Hello.

Creation of approval rule templates is not provided by CloudFormation officially, so you can create them from CloudFormation templates by using packages published by the community as described in the GitHub issue below.

Answer

To add a CodeCommit approval rule template using CloudFormation, you can include the necessary resources and properties in your CloudFormation template.

* Add an AWS::CodeCommit::ApprovalRuleTemplate resource to define the approval rule template. Specify properties like:

```
ApprovalRuleTemplateName
ApprovalRuleTemplateContent
ApprovalRuleTemplateDescription
```

The ApprovalRuleTemplateContent property defines the approval rule configuration as a JSON string. It supports properties like NumberOfApprovalsNeeded, ApprovalPoolMembers etc.
* You can use pseudo parameters like Ref and GetAtt to reference the template in other resources as needed.
* Deploy the CloudFormation stack to create the approval rule template.
* To update an existing template, update the ApprovalRuleTemplateContent property and redeploy the stack.
