First, you need to install the custom type into CloudFomation. See the installation guide documentation.

Once done, you can use Terraform in CloudFormation templates by specifying the type Cloudsoft::Terraform::Infrastructure. For example:

AWSTemplateFormatVersion: 2010-09-09
Description: Terraform in CloudFormation example, using the Terraform Connector for CloudFormation
Resources:
  TerraformEc2Example:
    Type: Cloudsoft::Terraform::Infrastructure
    Properties:
      ConfigurationContent: |
        resource "aws_instance" "my-test-instance" {
          ami             = "XXXXXXX"
          instance_type   = "t2.micro"
        }

The Terraform configuration does not need to be in-lined; you can instead use ConfigurationUrl or ConfigurationS3Path to point at a configuration.

You can then:

• Use Terraform in AWS Service Catalog
• Mix and match Terraform with CloudFormation in IaC templatees

Features:

• View Terraform outputs as CloudFormation outputs
• Drive Terraform updates through CloudFormation
• Read and delete

For more information on how to use the custom type, see the user guide documentation.
