# AWS::MediaConnect::Bridge
<a name="aws-resource-mediaconnect-bridge"></a>

The `AWS::MediaConnect::Bridge` resource defines a connection between your data center’s gateway instances and the cloud. For each bridge, you specify the type of bridge, transport protocol to use, and details for any outputs and failover.

## Syntax
<a name="aws-resource-mediaconnect-bridge-syntax"></a>

To declare this entity in your CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

### JSON
<a name="aws-resource-mediaconnect-bridge-syntax.json"></a>

```
{
  "Type" : "AWS::MediaConnect::Bridge",
  "Properties" : {
      "[EgressGatewayBridge](#cfn-mediaconnect-bridge-egressgatewaybridge)" : EgressGatewayBridge,
      "[IngressGatewayBridge](#cfn-mediaconnect-bridge-ingressgatewaybridge)" : IngressGatewayBridge,

## Return values
<a name="aws-resource-mediaconnect-bridge-return-values"></a>

### Ref
<a name="aws-resource-mediaconnect-bridge-return-values-ref"></a>

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic `Ref` function, `Ref` returns the bridge ARN. For example:

 `{ "Ref": "arn:aws:mediaconnect:us-east-1:111122223333:bridge:1-23aBC45dEF67hiJ8-12AbC34DE5fG:BasketballArenaIngress" }` 

For more information about using the `Ref` function, see [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/intrinsic-function-reference-ref.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/intrinsic-function-reference-ref.html).

### Fn::GetAtt
<a name="aws-resource-mediaconnect-bridge-return-values-fn--getatt"></a>

The `Fn::GetAtt` intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using the `Fn::GetAtt` intrinsic function, see [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/intrinsic-function-reference-getatt.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/intrinsic-function-reference-getatt.html).
