New Data Source: aws_cloudformation_exports #2180

moofish32 · 2017-11-06T04:26:12Z

This adds a new data source to leverage Cloudformation Exports. The improvement offered by this feature is improved integration to Cloudformation Exports to ease the transition to Terraform. This will enable a team to directly reference the Export name instead of having to know the Cloudformation Stack name. With the use of nested stacks the stack name is often non-deterministic using post-pended random characters.

This was originally opened as hashicorp/terraform#14407, but I have changed the solution to use one export per resource instead of entire map. This creates a declarative solution allowing validation prior to run of the export values.

This is straightforward implementation for https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/APIReference/API_ListExports.html

I would change stack_id to exporting_stack_id to match with AWS model

trung · 2017-12-19T02:16:31Z

Is there any chance to have this in the coming 1.6.1 release? This helps a lot in an environment where the transition happening from CloudFormation-based approach to Terraform

@radeksimko appreciate your review on this PR

trung · 2018-01-12T19:52:58Z

@Ninir is there any chance you can look at this PR? I merged to my own fork and have been using it for awhile now. It works nicely.

moofish32 · 2018-02-11T04:42:45Z

@radeksimko -- rebase to resolve conflicts

moofish32 · 2018-02-18T06:26:07Z

@radeksimko @Ninir -- any update here?

trung · 2018-03-18T01:14:29Z

@bflad can you have a quick look at this? Thanks

trung · 2018-05-15T00:57:05Z

hope this can be merged soon so separate build just to include this PR is no longer needed

moofish32 · 2018-05-16T14:54:25Z

rebased to master @bflad @radeksimko not sure if there is something missing here?

johnmcteague · 2018-06-14T09:18:56Z

Any ETA on when this could get merged?

paultyng · 2018-06-15T13:02:20Z

For the most part this looks ok to me, the only change I would make would be to rename it to aws_cloudformation_export as its just a single export value, to leave room if we want to introduce a data source that pulls multiple exports at once.

moofish32 · 2018-06-15T15:59:49Z

renamed to cloudformatin_export

Sorry for the lengthy delay in getting this reviewed! 😅 As @paultyng mentioned this was in pretty good shape. I left some pretty minor feedback below, which I'll happily handle in a quick commit after yours. Thank you so much! 🚀

+func dataSourceAwsCloudFormationExportRead(d *schema.ResourceData, meta interface{}) error {
+ conn := meta.(*AWSClient).cfconn
+ var name, value string
+ if v, ok := d.GetOk("name"); ok {


Minor nitpick: Since name is required, we do not need to check for its existence with d.GetOk() and instead can just get its value via name := d.Get("name").(string)

+ err := conn.ListExportsPages(input,
+ func(page *cloudformation.ListExportsOutput, lastPage bool) bool {
+ for _, e := range page.Exports {
+ if name == *e.Name {


To prevent potential panics with the resource, we should use the SDK provided helpers to dereference the pointers rather than *, e.g. aws.StringValue(e.Name)

The SDK paginators should automatically handle NextToken so we can instead just return !lastPage

The filename and the sidebar naming need to be updated to remove the plural s 👍

Minor nitpick: the forward slashes are no longer required in the documentation headers -- understandably this PR was written during a time either when they were required or many of the other documentation pages still had them
