Creating a project with AWS CloudFormation

Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels is integrated with AWS CloudFormation, a service that helps you model and set up your AWS resources so that you can spend less time creating and managing your resources and infrastructure. You create a template that describes all the AWS resources that you want, and CloudFormation takes care of provisioning and configuring those resources for you.

You can use CloudFormation to provision and configure Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels projects.

When you use CloudFormation, you can reuse your template to set up your Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels projects consistently and repeatedly. Just describe your projects once, and then provision the same projects over and over in multiple AWS accounts and Regions.

Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels and CloudFormation templates

To provision and configure projects for Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels and related services, you must understand CloudFormation templates. Templates are formatted text files in JSON or YAML. These templates describe the resources that you want to provision in your CloudFormation stacks. If you're unfamiliar with JSON or YAML, you can use CloudFormation Designer to help you get started with CloudFormation templates. For more information, see What is CloudFormation Designer? in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

For reference information about Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels projects, including examples of JSON and YAML templates, see Rekognition resource type reference.
