pause the template execution for a few minutes

Question

I have a cloudformation template that works correctly. It initiates an elastic server along with cloud-trail.

datameetgeobk.s3.amazonaws.com/cftemplates/audit_trail.yaml

I have to wait for 10 minute to get the endpoint. The endpoint is used in Lambda function that is part of another template.

Is there WaitCondition in cloudformaton that I can use before joining these 2 templates?

Yes, there is a WaitCondition that uses properties like Count, Handle, Timeout.

More info about the same is Here

Example Code

Declare an `AWS::CloudFormation::WaitConditionHandle resource in the stack's template

"myWaitHandle" : {
     "Type" : "AWS::CloudFormation::WaitConditionHandle",
     "Properties" : {
     }
}
