AWS CloudFormation Adds Support for Amazon VPC NAT Gateway, Amazon EC2 Container Registry, and More

AWS CloudFormation has added support for four additional AWS services and several new features.

You can now provision the following AWS services using CloudFormation. Visit here for a full list of supported services.

Network Address Translation (NAT) Gateway: You can now provision a Network Address Translation (NAT) Gateway using CloudFormation. NAT Gateway is a highly available AWS managed service that makes it easy to connect to the Internet from instances within a private subnet in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Learn more.
Amazon EC2 Container Registry (Amazon ECR): You can now use CloudFormation to provision Amazon ECR, a fully-managed Docker container registry that makes it easy for developers to store, manage, and deploy Docker container images. Learn more.
Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR): You can now provision Amazon EMR using CloudFormation. Amazon EMR is a web service that makes it easy to quickly and cost-effectively process vast amounts of data using frameworks such as Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Presto.
Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES): You can now use CloudFormation to provision Amazon ES, a managed service that makes it easy to deploy, operate, and scale Elasticsearch clusters on AWS. Learn more.

You can now provision the following features using CloudFormation:

AWS CloudTrail multi-region trail creation: Specify whether newly created trails apply to the region in which your stack was created or to all regions.
AWS Config global resource types: Indicate whether AWS Config should automatically start recording newly added global resource types, such as IAM users, groups, roles, and customer managed policies.
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) encryption: Encrypt Amazon RDS database instances using AWS Key Management System.
Edit tags when updating stacks: Add, modify, or remove stack tags when you update your stack. Previously, you could not make changes to tags when updating your stack.
Retain resources when deleting stacks: Specify the AWS resources you would like to retain when deleting a stack. This is useful when your stack deletion has failed because it contains a resource that cannot be deleted, such as a non-empty Amazon S3 bucket.
