Direct Change Mode use cases

The following are uses cases for Direct Change Mode:

Resource provision and management through CloudFormation
  • Integrate existing CloudFormation-based tooling and processes.

Ongoing resource management and updates
  • Small atomic changes with low risk.

  • Changes that would otherwise run through a manual or automated RFC.

  • Tooling that requires native AWS API access.
