Overview

What is cfn-transform

Cfn-transform is a command-line utility used to return transformed SAM templates.

With cfn-transform , you are able to return a fully transformed SAM template either to the command line or directly to a file. Unlike other tools for returning transformed files, cfn-transform does not require any AWS credentials and can be ran locally on your machine.

How does it work?

Cfn-transform works by utilizing the functionality of the decode command within cfn-lint. The current linter creates the transformed template using aws-sam-cli.samtranslator and checks it to make sure that it is a valid template. Cfn-transform uses the same translator, and returns it to be displayed for the user. Similarly to the process used in cfn-lint, the current library returns a default transformation for the region us-east-1.
