yamlstratus 1.0.3

Python for yamlstratus builder

YAML Stratus provides extensions to YAML that make it amenable to use with AWS CloudFormation, as well as a python binding, and a tool for converting to the standard JSON used by CloudFormation.

Standard YAML capabilities not part of JSON:

• comments

• back references

• block literals

Note also that JSON is YAML, so familiar JSON data can be embedded within YAML.

Extension to YAML provided by YAML Stratus:

• !include - YAML files can include other YAML files

• !param - YAML files can include parameters

• !merge - Allows the merging of data from two source data hierarchies
