Configure and modify cards in Infrastructure Composer
In Infrastructure Composer, cards represent resources that you use to design your application architecture. When you configure a card in Infrastructure Composer, you define the details of the resources in your application. This includes details like a card's Logical ID and Partition key. The way this information is defined varies between Enhanced component cards and Standard cards.
An Enhanced component card is A collection of AWS CloudFormation resources that have been combined into a single curated card that enhances ease of use, functionality, and are designed for a wide variety of use cases. A Standard IaC resource card represents a single AWS CloudFormation resource. Each standard IaC resource card, once dragged onto the canvas, is labeled Standard component.
This topic provides details on configuring Enhanced component cards and Standard component cards.
Note
This topic applies to using cards from the Infrastructure Composer Console, the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code extension, and while in Infrastructure Composer in CloudFormation console mode. Lambda-related cards (Lambda Function and Lambda Layer) require code builds and packaging solutions that are not available in Infrastructure Composer in CloudFormation console mode. For more information, see Using Infrastructure Composer in CloudFormation console mode.
