Command Line Stack Setup

Setup your AWS keys

Create an access key if you haven't done so already

I use the following shell script and it is necessary to source the script (notice the extra ". " at the beginning)

. ~/.ssh/aws_keys.sh

The shell script is

#!/bin/bash
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<Your Access key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<Your secret key>

Kick off the stack creation (or cloud formation)

Run the following command line

aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <stack name> --template-body file://awsmeetup.json --parameters ParameterKey=ParamKeyName,ParameterValue=<Your key filename> ParameterKey=ParamSshCidr,ParameterValue=<your IP address - use https://www.whatismyip.com/>

My specific command line is:

aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name seattle-aws-soln-arch-05 --template-body file://awsmeetup.json --parameters ParameterKey=ParamKeyName,[email protected] ParameterKey=ParamSshCidr,ParameterValue=162.244.136.121/32

Check the stack progress, either through the web console or on the command line

aws cloudformation describe-stacks

To recreate it, first delete the current stack (or give the new stack a new name)

aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <stack name>

My specific command line is

aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name arn:aws:cloudformation:us-west-2:810429055117:stack/seattle-aws-soln-arch-05/30173de0-f1bd-11e4-9b3b-50d5020578e0
