解説

Parameters

言葉通りテンプレートに対しての引数のような定義で、スタックを作成する際にここで宣言されている変数への設定値を入力するよう要求される。

AWS::CloudFormation::Init

Metadeta配下の宣言で、そもそもAWS::EC2::Instanceのドキュメントに書かれてなかったのでなんじゃそらと混乱した。
Metadata自体はドキュメントを斜め読みしただけなのでおよそ全く意味は理解できていない。

この宣言はInitスクリプト的なものを定義出来るみたいで、ただその構造はまずコマンドを宣言してからコマンド別に実行したい内容を定義してからそれを呼ぶような書き方をする。
サンプルでも複数行にまたがる処理を書いていて、必要なソフトウェアのインストールやサービスの有効化とかしていた。このサンプルだけでも応用には困らなさそうに感じている。

!FindInMap

記号から始まる記述でPHP的だなとか思いながらどこからFindするんだとドキュメントにはMappingsなる宣言がありそこで変数名とその実態となる辞書を定義しているとのことだった。
記述全体がインスタンスタイプの宣言で長くてパッと見で見つけられなくてちょっと焦った。

!Ref

端的に引数に指定したリソース（Resourcesで宣言した論理名）から物理IDを取ってくる。
詳しくはドキュメントを見た方が良いけど、EC2ならインスタンスIDとかElastic IPならIPアドレスとか識別子的なものが返却される。

Fn::Join

子要素を一行の文字列に連結するみたいなんだけどドキュメントを読んでも要領がわからなかった。
サンプルでは複数行にまたがるInitスクリプトの定義や設定ファイルの定義を行連結する為に使っている。改行文字とかの代わりか。

Outputs

コンソールに出力する内容を定義する。
このサンプルではスタック作成後にコンソールにサービスのURLを出力している。
単純なことだけなのとドキュメントも説明だけだといまいちわからない。
出力先にS3とか使えるのかなとか、コマンドラインからCloudFormation実行したら手元のターミナルにそれ出力されるのかなとか知りたい。

!GetAtt

手っ取り早く先にドキュメント。
Refと異なりIDを返却するんじゃなくて、対象の属性、自分の言葉で言えばパラメータか設定値かのキー名から取れる。
定義済みのインスタンスから細かい情報とって来て分岐するようなの書けるのかなと理解している。
