Issue details

CDK makes heavy use of CloudFormation custom resources to fill missing gaps in CloudFormation. These custom resources are a CloudFormation resource that is backed by a user defined (and managed) AWS Lambda function.

Since these Lambda functions contain custom code written by the CDK team/contributors, we need to find a way to reuse this code as we do not want to have to re-write it ourselves. My initial idea is to replace the custom resources with a new custom resource component that will handle invoking the lambda function and parsing the output.

Affected area/feature

Similar to #60 which is for a specific custom resource. This issue is for tracking general support for custom resources.
