How to create a CloudFormation template for S3?

To create a CloudFormation template for S3, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open a text editor and create a new file for your CloudFormation template.

  2. Start by defining the CloudFormation template version at the top of the file, for example:

AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'
  1. Define the resources section where you will specify the configuration for your S3 bucket. Here is an example configuration for creating an S3 bucket:
Resources: MyS3Bucket: Type: AWS::S3::Bucket Properties: BucketName: my-example-bucket
  1. You can add more properties to customize your S3 bucket, such as versioning, logging, and encryption. Here is an example that enables versioning and encryption for the bucket:
Resources: MyS3Bucket: Type: AWS::S3::Bucket Properties: BucketName: my-example-bucket VersioningConfiguration: Status: Enabled BucketEncryption: ServerSideEncryptionConfiguration: - ServerSideEncryptionByDefault: SSEAlgorithm: AES256
  1. Save the file with a .yaml or .json extension, depending on the format you prefer to use.

  2. Upload the template to the AWS CloudFormation console or use the AWS CLI to create a stack using your template.

  3. After the stack creation is complete, you should see your S3 bucket created with the specified configuration.

This is a basic example to get you started with creating a CloudFormation template for an S3 bucket. You can further customize and add more resources to your template as needed.
