Which services can be managed by AWS SAM?

Question

Which services can be managed by the AWS SAM (Serverless Application Model) framework?

AWS Docs seem to list contradicting information:

• https://aws.amazon.com/serverless/ lists plenty of services as serverless, incl. Lambda, Fargate, ..., SNS, SQS, ... DynamoDB, S3.

• SAM resource reference lists only: Api, Application, Function, HttpApi, LayerVersion, SimpleTable, StateMachine.

Yet, I cannot find any mention in the SAM docs on how to create an S3 bucket.

An example doubt is - can I have an S3 bucket created using SAM framework? Can SAM deploy to Fargate too?

You can add any CloudFormation component as part of your SAM config file. As noted in the SAM developer guide:

AWS SAM templates are an extension of AWS CloudFormation templates, with some additional components that make them easier to work with. For the full reference for AWS CloudFormation templates, see AWS CloudFormation Template Reference in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
