AWS::Greengrass::ResourceDefinitionCfnResourceDefinition
The `AWS::Greengrass::ResourceDefinition` resource represents a resource definition for AWS IoT Greengrass . Resource definitions are used to organize your resource definition versions. Resource definitions can reference multiple resource definition versions. All resource definition versions must be associated with a resource definition. Each resource definition version can contain one or more resources. (In CloudFormation , resources are named *resource instances* .) > When you create a resource definition, you can optionally include an initial resource definition version. To associate a resource definition version later, create an [`AWS::Greengrass::ResourceDefinitionVersion`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-greengrass-resourcedefinitionversion.html) resource and specify the ID of this resource definition. > > After you create the resource definition version that contains the resources you want to deploy, you must add it to your group version. For more information, see [`AWS::Greengrass::Group`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-greengrass-group.html) .
Import
import { CfnResourceDefinition } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-greengrass';Or use the module namespace:
import * as greengrass from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-greengrass';
// greengrass.CfnResourceDefinitionProperties
Configuration passed to the constructor as CfnResourceDefinitionProps.
nameRequiredstringThe name of the resource definition.
initialVersionOptionalIResolvable | ResourceDefinitionVersionPropertyThe resource definition version to include when the resource definition is created. A resource definition version contains a list of [`resource instance`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-greengrass-resourcedefinition-resourceinstance.html) property types. > To associate a resource definition version after the resource definition is created, create an [`AWS::Greengrass::ResourceDefinitionVersion`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-greengrass-resourcedefinitionversion.html) resource and specify the ID of this resource definition.
tagsOptionalanyApplication-specific metadata to attach to the resource definition. You can use tags in IAM policies to control access to AWS IoT Greengrass resources. You can also use tags to categorize your resources. For more information, see [Tagging Your AWS IoT Greengrass Resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/greengrass/v1/developerguide/tagging.html) in the *Developer Guide* . This `Json` property type is processed as a map of key-value pairs. It uses the following format, which is different from most `Tags` implementations in CloudFormation templates. ```json "Tags": { "KeyName0": "value", "KeyName1": "value", "KeyName2": "value" } ```
