The generator does not call AWS APIs. It only builds text based templates and leaves all creation and updates inside your own AWS accounts and deployment tools.

Important notice This AWS CloudFormation Template Generator is an educational and productivity helper. All input and all generation happen in your browser. No AWS credentials, stack data, or resource identifiers are transmitted to CyberLife Coach or to any third party. The output is provided without warranty. Always review and test templates in a safe, non-production environment before you use them in live AWS accounts.
