  • Create stack

Lab date

16-12-2021


Prerequisites

  • AWS account

Lab steps

  1. Download the sample CloudFormation template. In AWS console navigate to CloudFormation and create a stack, then upload that template (you may need to create a EC2 KeyPair in advance, because it’s one of the stacks parameters).

    This stack will create two resources as seen above.

  2. In the Outputs section you’ll find the WebsiteURL to the EC2 instance.

    And the website itself is working too:

  3. Delete the stack.
