Minimum length=1. Maximum length=256

HomePageUrl -> (string)

A URL with more information about the application, for example the location of your GitHub repository for the application.

Labels to improve discovery of apps in search results.

Minimum length=1. Maximum length=127. Maximum number of labels: 10

Maximum size 5 MB

Name -> (string)

The name of the application.

Minimum length=1. Maximum length=140

ReadmeUrl -> (string)

A link to the readme file in Markdown language that contains a more detailed description of the application and how it works.

SpdxLicenseId -> (string)

A valid identifier from https://spdx.org/licenses/.

VerifiedAuthorUrl -> (string)

The URL to the public profile of a verified author. This URL is submitted by the author.

A regular expression that represents the patterns to allow for String types.

AllowedValues -> (list)

An array containing the list of values allowed for the parameter.

(string)

ConstraintDescription -> (string)

A string that explains a constraint when the constraint is violated. For example, without a constraint description, a parameter that has an allowed pattern of [A-Za-z0-9]+ displays the following error message when the user specifies an invalid value:

Malformed input-Parameter MyParameter must match pattern [A-Za-z0-9]+

By adding a constraint description, such as "must contain only uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers," you can display the following customized error message:

Malformed input-Parameter MyParameter must contain only uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers.

DefaultValue -> (string)

A value of the appropriate type for the template to use if no value is specified when a stack is created. If you define constraints for the parameter, you must specify a value that adheres to those constraints.

Description -> (string)

NoEcho -> (boolean)

Whether to mask the parameter value whenever anyone makes a call that describes the stack. If you set the value to true, the parameter value is masked with asterisks (*).

ReferencedByResources -> (list)

A list of AWS SAM resources that use this parameter.

(string)

Type -> (string)

The type of the parameter.

Valid values: String | Number | List<Number> | CommaDelimitedList

String: A literal string.

For example, users can specify "MyUserName".

Number: An integer or float. AWS CloudFormation validates the parameter value as a number. However, when you use the parameter elsewhere in your template (for example, by using the Ref intrinsic function), the parameter value becomes a string.

For example, users might specify "8888".

List<Number>: An array of integers or floats that are separated by commas. AWS CloudFormation validates the parameter value as numbers. However, when you use the parameter elsewhere in your template (for example, by using the Ref intrinsic function), the parameter value becomes a list of strings.

For example, users might specify "80,20", and then Ref results in ["80","20"].

CommaDelimitedList: An array of literal strings that are separated by commas. The total number of strings should be one more than the total number of commas. Also, each member string is space-trimmed.

For example, users might specify "test,dev,prod", and then Ref results in ["test","dev","prod"].

RequiredCapabilities -> (list)

A list of values that you must specify before you can deploy certain applications. Some applications might include resources that can affect permissions in your AWS account, for example, by creating new AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users. For those applications, you must explicitly acknowledge their capabilities by specifying this parameter.

The only valid values are CAPABILITY_IAM, CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM, CAPABILITY_RESOURCE_POLICY, and CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND.

The following resources require you to specify CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM: AWS::IAM::Group , AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile , AWS::IAM::Policy , and AWS::IAM::Role . If the application contains IAM resources, you can specify either CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM. If the application contains IAM resources with custom names, you must specify CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM.

The following resources require you to specify CAPABILITY_RESOURCE_POLICY: AWS::Lambda::Permission , AWS::IAM:Policy , AWS::ApplicationAutoScaling::ScalingPolicy , AWS::S3::BucketPolicy , AWS::SQS::QueuePolicy , and AWS::SNS::TopicPolicy .

Applications that contain one or more nested applications require you to specify CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND.

If your application template contains any of the above resources, we recommend that you review all permissions associated with the application before deploying. If you don't specify this parameter for an application that requires capabilities, the call will fail.

(string)

Values that must be specified in order to deploy some applications.

ResourcesSupported -> (boolean)

Whether all of the AWS resources contained in this application are supported in the region in which it is being retrieved.

SemanticVersion -> (string)

The semantic version of the application:

https://semver.org/

SourceCodeArchiveUrl -> (string)

A link to the S3 object that contains the ZIP archive of the source code for this version of your application.

Maximum size 50 MB

SourceCodeUrl -> (string)

A link to a public repository for the source code of your application, for example the URL of a specific GitHub commit.

TemplateUrl -> (string)

A link to the packaged AWS SAM template of your application.
