Announcing Infrastructure as Code template generation for AWS Step Functions

AWS Step Functions now supports exporting workflows as AWS CloudFormation or AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) templates directly in the AWS console. This allows for centralized and repeatable provisioning and management of your workflow configurations. AWS Step Functions is a visual workflow service capable of orchestrating virtually any AWS service to automate business processes and data processing workloads.

Now, you can export and customize templates from existing workflows to easily provision them in other accounts or jump-start the creation of new workflows. When you combine the Step Functions templates you generate with those from other services, you can provision your entire application using AWS CloudFormation stacks. Additionally, you can export your workflows to the AWS Infrastructure Composer console to take advantage of the visual builder capabilities to create a new serverless application project. Using Infrastructure Composer, you can connect the workflow with other AWS resources and generate the resource configurations in an AWS SAM template.

For more information about the AWS Regions where AWS Step Functions is available, see the AWS Region table. You can get started in the AWS console. To learn more, see the AWS Step Functions Developer Guide.
