  • TypeNameAlias (string) –

    An alias to assign to the public extension, in this account and Region. If you specify an alias for the extension, CloudFormation treats the alias as the extension type name within this account and Region. You must use the alias to refer to the extension in your templates, API calls, and CloudFormation console.

    An extension alias must be unique within a given account and Region. You can activate the same public resource multiple times in the same account and Region, using different type name aliases.

  • AutoUpdate (boolean) –

    The default is true.

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the role that CloudFormation should assume when sending log entries to CloudWatch Logs.

      The Amazon CloudWatch Logs group to which CloudFormation sends error logging information when invoking the extension’s handlers.

  • ExecutionRoleArn (string) – The name of the IAM execution role to use to activate the extension.

  • VersionBump (string) –

    Manually updates a previously-activated type to a new major or minor version, if available. You can also use this parameter to update the value of AutoUpdate.

    • MAJOR: CloudFormation updates the extension to the newest major version, if one is available.

    • MINOR: CloudFormation updates the extension to the newest minor version, if one is available.

  • MajorVersion (integer) –

    The major version of this extension you want to activate, if multiple major versions are available. The default is the latest major version. CloudFormation uses the latest available minor version of the major version selected.

    You can specify MajorVersion or VersionBump, but not both.
