AWS::AppConfig::Environment

The AWS::AppConfig::Environment resource creates an environment, which is a logical deployment group of AWS AppConfig targets, such as applications in a Beta or Production environment. You define one or more environments for each AWS AppConfig application. You can also define environments for application subcomponents such as the Web, Mobile and Back-end components for your application. You can configure Amazon CloudWatch alarms for each environment. The system monitors alarms during a configuration deployment. If an alarm is triggered, the system rolls back the configuration.

AWS AppConfig requires that you create resources and deploy a configuration in the following order:

  1. Create an application

  2. Create an environment

  3. Create a configuration profile

  4. Choose a pre-defined deployment strategy or create your own

  5. Deploy the configuration

For more information, see AWS AppConfig in the AWS AppConfig User Guide.
