How do I use custom resources with Amazon S3 buckets in CloudFormation?
I want to use custom resources with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets in AWS CloudFormation.
"I want to use custom resources with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets in AWS CloudFormation.Short descriptionUse the CloudFormation template in the following resolution to use custom resources with an S3 bucket.Consider the following:The template allows you to create folders in S3 buckets. Amazon S3 has a flat structure, but supports the folder concept as a means of grouping objects.The template allows you to perform operations after creating an S3 bucket, including copying content, uploading content, and synchronizing two different buckets.You can modify the template with your own code.This template uses AWS Lambda-backed custom resources and assumes that you're familiar with Lambda best practices and troubleshooting issues.Note: In the following resolution, all the S3 bucket content is deleted when the CloudFormation stack is deleted. You can modify this behavior by modifying the Lambda code.ResolutionNote: If you receive errors when running AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands, then make sure that you’re using the most recent AWS CLI version.Get the CloudFormation templateTo create folders in an S3 bucket using CloudFormation, save the following JSON or YAML template:JSON:{  "AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",  "Description": "Working with custom resources and S3",  "Parameters": {    "S3BucketName": {      "Type": "String",      "Description": "S3 bucket to create.",      "AllowedPattern": "[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*"    },    "DirsToCreate": {      "Description": "Comma delimited list of directories to create.",      "Type": "CommaDelimitedList"    }  },  "Resources": {    "SampleS3Bucket": {      "Type": "AWS::S3::Bucket",      "Properties": {        "BucketName": {"Ref":"S3BucketName"}      }    },    "S3CustomResource": {      "Type": "Custom::S3CustomResource",      "DependsOn":"AWSLambdaExecutionRole",      "Properties": {        "ServiceToken": {"Fn::GetAtt": ["AWSLambdaFunction","Arn"]},        "the_bucket": {"Ref":"SampleS3Bucket"},        "dirs_to_create": {"Ref":"DirsToCreate"}      }    },    "AWSLambdaFunction": {      "Type": "AWS::Lambda::Function",      "Properties": {        "Description": "Work with S3 Buckets!",        "FunctionName": {"Fn::Sub":"${AWS::StackName}-${AWS::Region}-lambda"},        "Handler": "index.handler",        "Role": {"Fn::GetAtt": ["AWSLambdaExecutionRole","Arn"]},        "Timeout": 360,        "Runtime": "python3.9",        "Code": {          "ZipFile": "import boto3\r\nimport cfnresponse\r\ndef handler(event, context):\r\n    # Init ...\r\n    the_event = event['RequestType']\r\n    print(\"The event is: \", str(the_event))\r\n    response_data = {}\r\n    s_3 = boto3.client('s3')\r\n    # Retrieve parameters\r\n    the_bucket = event['ResourceProperties']['the_bucket']\r\n    dirs_to_create = event['ResourceProperties']['dirs_to_create']\r\n    try:\r\n        if the_event in ('Create', 'Update'):\r\n            print(\"Requested folders: \", str(dirs_to_create))\r\n            for dir_name in dirs_to_create:\r\n                print(\"Creating: \", str(dir_name))\r\n                s_3.put_object(Bucket=the_bucket,\r\n                                Key=(dir_name\r\n                                    + '\/'))\r\n        elif the_event == 'Delete':\r\n            print(\"Deleting S3 content...\")\r\n            b_operator = boto3.resource('s3')\r\n            b_operator.Bucket(str(the_bucket)).objects.all().delete()\r\n        # Everything OK... send the signal back\r\n        print(\"Operation successful!\")\r\n        cfnresponse.send(event,\r\n                        context,\r\n                        cfnresponse.SUCCESS,\r\n                        response_data)\r\n    except Exception as e:\r\n        print(\"Operation failed...\")\r\n        print(str(e))\r\n        response_data['Data'] = str(e)\r\n        cfnresponse.send(event,\r\n                        context,\r\n                        cfnresponse.FAILED,\r\n                        response_data)"        }      }    },    "AWSLambdaExecutionRole": {      "Type": "AWS::IAM::Role",      "Properties": {        "AssumeRolePolicyDocument": {          "Statement": [            {              "Action": [                "sts:AssumeRole"              ],              "Effect": "Allow",              "Principal": {                "Service": [                  "lambda.amazonaws.com"                ]              }            }          ],          "Version": "2012-10-17"        },        "Path": "/",        "Policies": [          {            "PolicyDocument": {              "Statement": [                {                  "Action": [                    "logs:CreateLogGroup",                    "logs:CreateLogStream",                    "logs:PutLogEvents"                  ],                  "Effect": "Allow",                  "Resource": "arn:aws:logs:*:*:*"                }              ],              "Version": "2012-10-17"            },            "PolicyName": {"Fn::Sub": "${AWS::StackName}-${AWS::Region}-AWSLambda-CW"}          },          {            "PolicyDocument": {              "Statement": [                {                  "Action": [                    "s3:PutObject",                    "s3:DeleteObject",                    "s3:List*"                  ],                  "Effect": "Allow",                  "Resource": [                    {"Fn::Sub": "arn:aws:s3:::${SampleS3Bucket}/*"},                    {"Fn::Sub": "arn:aws:s3:::${SampleS3Bucket}"}                  ]                }              ],              "Version": "2012-10-17"            },            "PolicyName": {"Fn::Sub":"${AWS::StackName}-${AWS::Region}-AWSLambda-S3"}          }        ],        "RoleName": {"Fn::Sub":"${AWS::StackName}-${AWS::Region}-AWSLambdaExecutionRole"}      }    }  }}YAML:Copyright Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
