cloudformation-to-pulumi: Research & Knowledge for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Convert, migrate, or import AWS CloudFormation stacks or templates into Pulumi programs. Load this skill whenever a user wants to move from CloudFormation to Pulumi, convert a CFN template, import existing CloudFormation-managed resources into Pulumi, or asks about CloudFormation-to-Pulumi migration in any form. Also load when the user mentions cdk-importer in a migration context.

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

IMPORTANT: PLAN ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED

If you have already generated a migration plan before loading this skill, you MUST:

Review your existing plan against the workflows and requirements in this skill
Identify any gaps, missing steps, or incorrect assumptions
Update and revise your plan to align with this skill's guidance
Communicate the adjusted plan to the user before proceeding

CRITICAL SUCCESS REQUIREMENTS

The migration output MUST meet all of the following:

Complete Resource Coverage
- Every CloudFormation resource MUST be represented in the Pulumi program OR explicitly justified in the final report.
CloudFormation Logical ID as Resource Name
- CRITICAL: Every Pulumi resource MUST use the CloudFormation Logical ID as its resource name.
- This enables the cdk-importer tool to automatically find import IDs.
- DO NOT rename resources. Automated import will FAIL if you change the logical IDs.
Successful Deployment
- The produced Pulumi program must be structurally valid and capable of a successful pulumi preview (assuming proper config).
Zero-Diff Import Validation (if importing existing resources)
- After import, pulumi preview must show NO updates, replaces, creates, or deletes.
Final Migration Report
- Always output a formal migration report suitable for a Pull Request.

WHEN INFORMATION IS MISSING

If the user has not provided a CloudFormation template, you MUST fetch it from AWS using the stack name.

MIGRATION WORKFLOW

Follow this workflow exactly and in this order:

1. INFORMATION GATHERING

1.1 Verify AWS Credentials (ESC)

Running AWS commands requires credentials loaded via Pulumi ESC.

If the user has already provided an ESC environment, use it.
If no ESC environment is specified, ask the user which ESC environment to use before proceeding.

For detailed ESC information: Use skill pulumi-esc.

You MUST confirm the AWS region with the user.

1.2 Get the CloudFormation Template

If user provided a template file: Read the template directly.

If user only provided a stack name: Fetch the template from AWS:

aws cloudformation get-template \
  --region <region> \
  --stack-name <stack-name> \
  --query 'TemplateBody' \
  --output json > template.json

1.3 Build Resource Inventory

List all resources in the stack:

aws cloudformation list-stack-resources \
  --region <region> \
  --stack-name <stack-name> \
  --output json

This provides:

LogicalResourceId - Use this as the Pulumi resource name
PhysicalResourceId - The actual AWS resource ID
ResourceType - The CloudFormation resource type

1.4 Analyze Template Structure

Extract from the template:

Parameters and their defaults
Mappings
Conditions
Outputs
Resource dependencies (Ref, GetAtt, DependsOn)

2. CODE CONVERSION (CloudFormation → Pulumi)

IMPORTANT: There is NO automated conversion tool for CloudFormation. You MUST convert each resource manually.

2.1 Resource Name Convention (CRITICAL)

Every Pulumi resource MUST use the CloudFormation Logical ID as its name.

// CloudFormation:
// "MyAppBucketABC123": { "Type": "AWS::S3::Bucket", ... }

// Pulumi - CORRECT:
const myAppBucket = new aws.s3.Bucket("MyAppBucketABC123", { ... });

// Pulumi - WRONG (DO NOT do this - import will fail):
const myAppBucket = new aws.s3.Bucket("my-app-bucket", { ... });

This naming convention is REQUIRED because the cdk-importer tool matches resources by name.

2.2 Provider Strategy

⚠️ CRITICAL: ALWAYS USE aws-native BY DEFAULT ⚠️

Use aws-native for all resources unless there's a specific reason to use aws.
CloudFormation types map directly to aws-native (e.g., AWS::S3::Bucket → aws-native.s3.Bucket).
Only use aws (classic) when aws-native doesn't support a required feature.

This is MANDATORY for successful imports with cdk-importer. The cdk-importer works by matching CloudFormation resources to Pulumi resources, and CloudFormation maps 1:1 to aws-native. Using the classic aws provider will cause import failures.

2.3 CloudFormation Intrinsic Functions

Map CloudFormation intrinsic functions to Pulumi equivalents:

CloudFormation	Pulumi Equivalent
`!Ref` (resource)	Resource output (e.g., `bucket.id`)
`!Ref` (parameter)	Pulumi config
`!GetAtt Resource.Attr`	Resource property output
`!Sub "..."`	`pulumi.interpolate`
`!Join [delim, [...]]`	`pulumi.interpolate` or `.apply()`
`!If [cond, true, false]`	Ternary operator
`!Equals [a, b]`	`===` comparison
`!Select [idx, list]`	Array indexing with `.apply()`
`!Split [delim, str]`	`.apply(v => v.split(...))`
`Fn::ImportValue`	Stack references or config

Example: !Sub

// CloudFormation: !Sub "arn:aws:s3:::${MyBucket}/*"
// Pulumi:
const bucketArn = pulumi.interpolate`arn:aws:s3:::${myBucket.bucket}/*`;

Example: !GetAtt

// CloudFormation: !GetAtt MyFunction.Arn
// Pulumi:
const functionArn = myFunction.arn;

2.4 CloudFormation Conditions

Convert CloudFormation conditions to TypeScript logic:

// CloudFormation:
// "Conditions": {
//   "CreateProdResources": { "Fn::Equals": [{ "Ref": "Environment" }, "prod"] }
// }

// Pulumi:
const config = new pulumi.Config();
const environment = config.require("environment");
const createProdResources = environment === "prod";

if (createProdResources) {
  // Create production-only resources
}

2.5 CloudFormation Parameters

Convert parameters to Pulumi config:

// CloudFormation:
// "Parameters": {
//   "InstanceType": { "Type": "String", "Default": "t3.micro" }
// }

// Pulumi:
const config = new pulumi.Config();
const instanceType = config.get("instanceType") || "t3.micro";

2.6 CloudFormation Mappings

Convert mappings to TypeScript objects:

// CloudFormation:
// "Mappings": {
//   "RegionMap": {
//     "us-east-1": { "AMI": "ami-12345" },
//     "us-west-2": { "AMI": "ami-67890" }
//   }
// }

// Pulumi:
const regionMap: Record<string, { ami: string }> = {
  "us-east-1": { ami: "ami-12345" },
  "us-west-2": { ami: "ami-67890" },
};
const ami = regionMap[aws.config.region!].ami;

2.7 Custom Resources

CloudFormation Custom Resources (AWS::CloudFormation::CustomResource or Custom::*) require special handling:

Identify the purpose: Read the Lambda function code to understand what it does
Find native replacement: Check if Pulumi has a native resource that provides the same functionality
If no replacement: Document in the migration report that manual implementation is needed

2.8 TypeScript Output Handling

aws-native outputs often include undefined. Avoid ! non-null assertions. Always safely unwrap with .apply():

// WRONG
functionName: lambdaFunction.functionName!,

// CORRECT
functionName: lambdaFunction.functionName.apply(name => name || ""),

3. RESOURCE IMPORT

After conversion, import existing resources to be managed by Pulumi.

3.0 Pre-Import Validation (REQUIRED)

Before proceeding with import, verify your code:

Check Provider Usage: Scan your code to ensure all resources use aws-native
Document Exceptions: Any use of aws (classic) provider must be justified
Verify Resource Names: Confirm all resources use CloudFormation Logical IDs as names

3.1 Automated Import with cdk-importer

Because you used CloudFormation Logical IDs as resource names, you can use the cdk-importer tool to automatically import resources.

Follow cfn-importer.md for detailed import procedures.

3.2 Manual Import for Failed Resources

For resources that fail automatic import:

Follow cloudformation-id-lookup.md to find the import ID format
Use pulumi import:

pulumi import <pulumi-resource-type> <logical-id> <import-id>

3.3 Running Preview After Import

After import, run pulumi preview. There must be:

NO updates
NO replaces
NO creates
NO deletes

If there are changes, investigate and update the program until preview is clean.

OUTPUT FORMAT (REQUIRED)

When performing a migration, always produce:

Overview (high-level description)
Migration Plan Summary
Pulumi Code Outputs (TypeScript; organized by file)
Resource Mapping Table:

CloudFormation Logical ID	CFN Type	Pulumi Type	Provider
`MyAppBucketABC123`	`AWS::S3::Bucket`	`aws-native.s3.Bucket`	aws-native
`MyLambdaFunction456`	`AWS::Lambda::Function`	`aws-native.lambda.Function`	aws-native

Custom Resources Summary (if any)
Final Migration Report (PR-ready)
Next Steps (import instructions)
