Macro

The Macro definition registers a CloudFormation Macro for the deployment tier. The handler must be a Lambda function. Once deployed, the macro is available to all subsequent module deployments.

WARNING: Due to a limitation in the Fn::Transform function, it is not possible to namespace macros to a deployment tier. Consequently, macros are defined globally for the entire account, across all deployment tiers.
