CloudFormation walkthroughs
This documentation provides a collection of walkthroughs designed to give you hands-on practice with stack deployments.
-
Refer to resource outputs in another CloudFormation stack – This walkthrough shows you how to reference outputs from one CloudFormation stack within another stack. Instead of including all resources in a single stack, you can create related AWS resources in separate stacks to create more modular and reusable templates.
-
Deploy applications on Amazon EC2 – Learn how to use CloudFormation to automatically install, configure, and start up your application on Amazon EC2 instances. This way, you can easily duplicate deployments and update existing installations without connecting directly to the instances.
-
Peer with a VPC in another AWS account – This walkthrough guides you through the process of creating a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) peering connection between two VPCs in different AWS accounts. VPC peering helps you route traffic between the VPCs and access resources as if they were part of the same network.
-
Create a scaled and load-balanced application – Discover how to use CloudFormation to create a scalable and load-balanced application. This walkthrough covers creating an Auto Scaling group, a load balancer, and other related resources to ensure your application can handle varying traffic loads and maintain high availability.
-
Perform ECS blue/green deployments through CodeDeploy using CloudFormation – Discover how to use CloudFormation to perform AWS CodeDeploy blue/green deployments on Amazon ECS. Blue/green deployments are a way to update your applications or services with minimal downtime.
The following walkthroughs remain in this document for any customers who want to use them, but we recommend that you use AWS Infrastructure Composer instead.
