Cloud Formation parser for DynamoDB local

This script converts the DynamoDB resources in a Amazon Web Services Cloud Formation template to a series of AWS Command Line Interface commands.

Prerequisites

You must also configure the default credentials for use with AWS Command Line Interface

$ aws configure

Usage

$ python ./parse.py [-h] [--region <region>] [--endpoint-url <url>] <filename>
  • region - The AWS region simulate in DynamoDB Local (default: us-east-1)
  • endpoint-url - The DynamoDB Local endpoint URL (default: http://localhost:8000)
  • filename - The AWS CloudFormation template to convert

Running the tests

python -m unittest discover

Putting it all together

Assuming you have DynamoDB Local running on port 8000 you can do the following to build and exexcute the script in one command:

python ./parse.py test/data/sample.template | sh

Example

Consider the following sample cloud formation template with two tables defined. There are two tables:

  • myTableName
  • myTableName2

The second table depends on the first so it will be constructed after the first.

python ./parse.py test/data/sample.template

  "AWSTemplateFormatVersion" : "2010-09-09",

Known Issues

This script would require further modification to support parameterised DynamoDB resources in a Cloud Formation template.
