function New-VaporMetadata { <# .SYNOPSIS Adds a Metadata object to the template .DESCRIPTION You can use the optional Metadata section to include arbitrary JSON or YAML objects that provide details about the template. ** Important ** During a stack update, you cannot update the Metadata section by itself. You can update it only when you include changes that add, modify, or delete resources. .LINK http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html .PARAMETER LogicalId An identifier for the current condition. The logical ID must be alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and unique within the template. .PARAMETER Metadata Key/Value pair. You can use any of these 3 types for this parameter; "System.Collections.Hashtable","System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject","Vaporshell.Metadata.Data" .PARAMETER NoEcho Whether to mask the parameter value whenever anyone makes a call that describes the stack. If you set the value to true, the parameter value is masked with asterisks (*****). .EXAMPLE $template = Initialize-Vaporshell -Description "Testing Metadata addition" $template.AddMetadata( (New-VaporMetadata -LogicalId "Instances" -Metadata [PSCustomObject]@{"Description" = "Information about the instances"}), (New-VaporMetadata -LogicalId "Databases" -Metadata [PSCustomObject]@{"Description" = "Information about the databases"}) ) # When the template is exported, this will convert to: { "AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09", "Description": "Testing Metadata addition", "Metadata": { "Instances": { "Description": "Information about the instances" }, "Databases": { "Description": "Information about the databases" } } } .FUNCTIONALITY Vaporshell #> [OutputType('Vaporshell.Metadata')] [cmdletbinding()] Param ( [parameter(Mandatory = $true,Position = 0)] [ValidateScript( { if ($_ -match "^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$") { $true } else { throw 'The logical ID must be alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and unique within the template.' } })] [System.String] $LogicalId, [parameter(Mandatory = $true,Position = 1)] [ValidateScript( { $allowedTypes = "System.Collections.Hashtable","System.Management.Automation.PSCustomObject","Vaporshell.Metadata.Data" if ([string]$($_.PSTypeNames) -match "($(($allowedTypes|ForEach-Object{[RegEx]::Escape($_)}) -join '|'))") { $true } else { throw "The Metadata parameter only accepts the following types: $($allowedTypes -join ", ").
