Creating AWS HealthImaging resources with AWS CloudFormation

AWS HealthImaging is integrated with AWS CloudFormation, a service that helps you to model and set up your AWS resources so that you can spend less time creating and managing your resources and infrastructure. You create a template that describes all the AWS resources that you want and AWS CloudFormation provisions and configures those resources for you.

When you use AWS CloudFormation, you can reuse your template to set up your HealthImaging resources consistently and repeatedly. Describe your resources once, and then provision the same resources over and over in multiple AWS accounts and Regions.

HealthImaging and AWS CloudFormation templates

To provision and configure resources for HealthImaging and related services, you must understand AWS CloudFormation templates. Templates are formatted text files in JSON or YAML. These templates describe the resources that you want to provision in your AWS CloudFormation stacks. If you're unfamiliar with JSON or YAML, you can use AWS CloudFormation Designer to help you get started with AWS CloudFormation templates. For more information, see What is AWS CloudFormation Designer? in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

AWS HealthImaging supports creating data stores with AWS CloudFormation. For more information, including examples of JSON and YAML templates for provisioning HealthImaging data stores, see the AWS HealthImaging resource type reference in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
