Amazon Connect now supports AWS CloudFormation for security profiles. You can now use AWS CloudFormation templates to deploy Amazon Connect security profiles —along with the rest of your AWS infrastructure— in a secure, efficient, and repeatable way, allowing you to apply consistent security policies across instances. CloudFormation allows you to track changes over time, apply updates in a controlled and automated manner, and includes version controls so you can easy roll back changes if needed. For more information, see Amazon Connect Resource Type Reference in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
