Artifacts

To deploy templates (like large CloudFormation structures or nested stacks), StackTest needs a way to store and reference staging resources.

For example, the AWS CloudFormation provider automatically:

  1. Provisions regional staging S3 buckets named stacktest-<project>-<region>-<run-id>.
  2. Uploads templates to these S3 locations.
  3. Passes the URL to the CloudFormation CreateStack command.
  4. Cleans up these staging objects and buckets upon execution teardown.
