Lab 5

Infrastructure as code

We will now create Launch a CloudFormation Stack through the AWS CLI. After running through the Lab you will be able to better understand:

  • How to launch a Stack from a YAML formatted file
  • Deploy the Stack through the AWS CLI

For this lab, you will need to be in the ~/environment/aws-vls-cpt-ci_cd_workshop/labs/05-infra-as-code directory in Cloud9:

$ cd ~/environment/aws-vls-cpt-ci_cd_workshop/labs/05-infra-as-code

Create the Stack

Create the stack with resources Defined in the cfn-template.yml in the current directory

  • Be sure to Update the [YOUR STACK NAME] in the command bellow to a name of your choosing

    aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name [YOUR STACK NAME] --template-body file://cfn-template.yml

  • You are also able to pass in parameters through the CLI, in this case you can name the DynamoDB table that is created through passing TableName

    aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name [YOUR STACK NAME] --template-body file://cfn-template.yml --parameters ParameterKey=TableName,ParameterValue=artistTable

Output

{
  "StackId": "arn:aws:cloudformation:eu-west-1:XXXXXXXXXXXXX:stack/[YOUR STACK NAME]/8832c420-5bc7-11eb-8215-06834f7e094f"
}

Describe the status of the CloudFormation Stack Creation

Keep an eye out for "StackStatus"

You can also view the status through the console Navigate to the Cloudformation Console Select your stack to view the Events.
