Is Macie supported in AWS CloudFormation?

From the user guide, I don't see Macie in the list of supported CloudFormation resources. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-template-resource-type-ref.html Does this mean that you cannot create Macie resources through CloudFormation templates?

I think you can set up EC2 with script to configure AWS Macie. I haven't tried it before so I might be wrong. - kkesley
Can you elaborate a little more? Is it through boto3? - Chang Lee

No, it's not supported. There's not much to configure with Macie, it just runs. Amazon explicitly states that Macie doesn't accept custom regexes, for example, unlike Google DLP.

It looks like you can configure Macie with CloudFormation according to the official docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/AWS_Macie.html
