title: Is it possible to execute a CloudFormation file in Terraform?
body: <p>One team has already written a cloudformation template as a <code>.yml</code> file that provisions a stack of resources.</p>
  <p>Is it possible to leverage this file by executing it from within Terraform? Or does it have to be rewritten?</p>
  <p>I'm new to terraform and just getting started.</p>
  <p>If I were using the AWS CLI I would execute a command like this,</p>
  <pre><code>aws cloudformation create-stack  --stack-name my-new-stack  --template-body file://mystack.yml --parameters ParameterKey=AmiId
  </code></pre>
  <p>I'd like to include the equivalent of this command in my terraform configuration.</p>
  <p>If it is possible and you can point me to an example, I would really appreciate that.</p>
  <p>Thanks!</p>
