functions: ${file(./deploy/${opt:stage}.yml):functions}

outputs:
DialogflowFunctionArn:
Value:
  Ref:

Got a block here. can some one help me here.

Solution

  • Ref is a Cloudformation intrinsic function. It needs to reference a resource. The whole outputs section is also optional, use it only if you need to reference the resources from one stack in another.
