Updating Cloudformation Schema

[Vandita2020]

Issue #, if available

#3682 , #3779

Description of changes

SAM's CFN schema used to get updated automatically with the changes in the CloudFormation schema. CloudFormation Schema update came from awslabs/goformation repository. Refer to this diagram to understand more in detail on how the schema changes work.

The goformation repository hasn't been updated since nine months and as of Oct 17, 2024 the repository has been archived. This means that for more than 9 months the CloudFormation Schema has not getting updated for SAM.

Since the goformation repository is now been archived, I have forked the GoFormation repo, run the go generate command that generated the updated CFN schema, and then executed the commands from the MakeFile to properly update the current cloudformation.schema.json, cloudformation-docs.json and schema.json files.

mkdir -p .tmp
cp /path/to/your/updated/cloudformation.schema.json .tmp/cloudformation.schema.json
bin/parse_cdk_cfn_docs.py < .tmp/cfn-docs.json > schema_source/cloudformation-docs.json
python bin/add_docs_cfn_schema.py --schema .tmp/cloudformation.schema.json --docs schema_source/cloudformation-docs.json > schema_source/cloudformation.schema.json
python -m samtranslator.internal.schema_source.schema --sam-schema schema_source/sam.schema.json --cfn-schema schema_source/cloudformation.schema.json --unified-schema samtranslator/schema/schema.json

I didn't go through every single change here, but I did get the changes locally (using gh pr checkout 3797) and everything I checked looks okay. The deletion are some renaming, and some places where the diff is confused because a new things appeared (so instead of just showing something "new", it shows something "changed" + something "new"), and the deletion of some "required" fields (that are no longer required). So it looks good to me. Thanks!
