Managing extensions with the CloudFormation registry
The AWS CloudFormation registry serves as a centralized hub for managing extensions that can be integrated into the CloudFormation templates in your AWS account. Extensions include resource types, modules, and Hooks from AWS and third-party publishers, and your own custom extensions. The registry makes it easier to discover and provision extensions in your CloudFormation templates in the same manner you use AWS-provided resources.
