@ttais2017 Good morning. Could you please share the followint:

• Region you are deploying to?
• Run cdk synth and share the relevant CFN resource in YAML with us? Looks like for some reason CFN doesn’t consider it a valid resource spec and we need to find out if the cdk synth is doing right.

The mentioned error is thrown by CloudFormation. Feel free open an issue at https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-coverage-roadmap for CloudFormation team. I'm unsure if support for AWS::SES::MailManagerRelay and AWS::SES::MailManagerRuleSet resources is consistent across regions. For instance, if you refer CloudFormation schema at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/cfn-resource-specification.html for us-east-2 region, AWS::SES::MailManagerRelay and AWS::SES::MailManagerRuleSet resources are not supported.

Thanks,
Ashish

Hi,
tnx for answering.
I used eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) and I verified the CF Spec and those elements are supported. The way I resolved it partially was to use AwsSdkCalls (not included in this template).

KR,
