Transform makes it easy to author templates in specific scenarios. You can specify the Transform section to use this feature. Resource Orchestration Service (ROS) transforms a template that has the Transform section specified to a standard template and then performs operations such as creating and updating resources.

ROS supports transformation of the Aliyun::Serverless resources in serverless scenarios based on Alibaba Cloud Function Compute. For more information, see Serverless architecture.

ROS transforms a template written in the Serverless Application Model (SAM) syntax based on Funcraft to a standard ROS template.

For more information, visit Serverless Application Model.

Supported resource types

Syntax

The declaration in the Transform section must be a string-type value and cannot be a parameter or function.

JSON example 
"Transform" : "Aliyun::Serverless-2018-04-03"
YAML example 
Transform: Aliyun::Serverless-2018-04-03

Examples

The following template is written in the SAM syntax:

ROSTemplateFormatVersion: "2015-09-01"
Transform: "Aliyun::Serverless-2018-04-03"
Resources:
  MyService: # service name
    Type: "Aliyun::Serverless::Service"
    Properties:
      Policies:
        - AliyunFCReadOnlyAccess # Managed Policy
        - Version: "1" # Policy Document
          Statement:
            - Effect: Allow
              Action:
                - oss:GetObject
                - oss:GetObjectACL
              Resource: "*"
    MyFunction: # function name
      Type: "Aliyun::Serverless::Function"
      Properties:
        Handler: index.handler
        Runtime: nodejs6
        CodeUri: "oss://testBucket/myCode.zip"

When the template is used to create change sets or stacks, ROS transforms the template based on the SAM syntax. The following changes occur in the transformed template:

  • Aliyun::Serverless::Service is transformed to ALIYUN::FC::Service.
  • The value of the Policies parameter specified in Aliyun::Serverless::Service is transformed to ALIYUN::RAM::Role and ALIYUN::RAM::AttachPolicyToRole, and the policies are specified in the Role parameter of ALIYUN::FC::Service.
  • Aliyun::Serverless::Function is transformed to ALIYUN::FC::Function.

The following template is available after the transformation:
