Creating SNS platform application with AWS Cloudformation?

Question

Is it possible to create SNS platform application with Cloudformation template?

There is support for aws-cli, http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/sns/create-platform-application.html. But there is no information about doing the same with Cloudformation, is it supported at all (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-sns-topic.html)?

Answer 1

NO. It is not possible to create an SNS Platform Application using CloudFormation in AWS.

I am facing the same problem. In AWS Could Formation docs there are only AWS::SNS::Subscription, AWS::SNS::Topic and AWS::SNS::TopicPolicy today. None of them allows to define a Platform Application.

Unless it is possible to declare it under another AWS:: service, it is not possible today. Hope to have this feature soon available.

Kind of solution:

• since creating/updating the Application Endpoint is a rare "event", once a year, I will manually :( create them.

• awscli and aws-sdk seem to support the creation of platform application, but it will add extra dependency or development
