Parameters

Explanation in CloudFormation Registry

The AWS::AppConfig::Environment resource creates an environment, which is a logical deployment group of AWS AppConfig targets, such as applications in a Beta or Production environment. You define one or more environments for each AWS AppConfig application. You can also define environments for application subcomponents such as the Web, Mobile and Back-end components for your application. You can configure Amazon CloudWatch alarms for each environment. The system monitors alarms during a configuration deployment. If an alarm is triggered, the system rolls back the configuration.

AWS AppConfig requires that you create resources and deploy a configuration in the following order:1. Create an application1. Create an environment1. Create a configuration profile1. Create a deployment strategy1. Deploy the configurationFor more information, see AWS AppConfig in the AWS AppConfig User Guide.
