AWS generating CloudFormation from Lambda S3 Use Case

Question

I have a bunch of Lambdas, SQSs and S3 sources/destinations as DataLake which I want to convert to a template/CloudFormation stack.

How do i do this? Is there any way to automatically generate this or i might have to do it manually learning YAML CloudFormation templates?

Thank you!

There is a tool called Former2 you could try to use. The issue you will have with CloudFormation is existing, manually created resources can't usually be managed by it without importing and that only works for certain resources .

If you are looking for a tool to assist with creating the resources from the ground up and are already doing development in a supported language you could take a look at CDK (Cloud Development Kit) , which makes working with CloudFormation a bit easier.
