There are more AWS SDK examples available in the [AWS Doc SDK Examples](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples) GitHub repo. # Use `CreateStack` with a CLI The following code examples show how to use `CreateStack`. Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code examples: + [Creating your first CloudFormation stack](cloudformation_example_cloudformation_GettingStarted_021_section.md) + [Getting started with Amazon EKS](cloudformation_example_eks_GettingStarted_034_section.md) ------ #### [ CLI ] **AWS CLI** **To create an AWS CloudFormation stack** The following `create-stacks` command creates a stack with the name `myteststack` using the `sampletemplate.json` template: ``` aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name myteststack --template-body file://sampletemplate.json --parameters ParameterKey=KeyPairName,ParameterValue=TestKey ParameterKey=SubnetIDs,ParameterValue=SubnetID1\\,SubnetID2 ``` Output: ``` { "StackId": "arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:123456789012:stack/myteststack/466df9e0-0dff-08e3-8e2f-5088487c4896" } ``` For more information, see Stacks in the *AWS CloudFormation User Guide*. + For API details, see [CreateStack](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/cloudformation/create-stack.html) in *AWS CLI Command Reference*. ------ #### [ PowerShell ] **Tools for PowerShell V4** **Example 1: Creates a new stack with the specified name. The template is parsed from the supplied content with customization parameters ('PK1' and 'PK2' represent the names of parameters declared in the template content, 'PV1' and 'PV2' represent the values for those parameters. The customization parameters can also be specified using 'Key' and 'Value' instead of 'ParameterKey' and 'ParameterValue'. If creation of the stack fails, it will not be rolled back.** ``` New-CFNStack -StackName "myStack" ` -TemplateBody "{TEMPLATE CONTENT HERE}" ` -Parameter @( @{ ParameterKey="PK1"; ParameterValue="PV1" }, @{ ParameterKey="PK2"; ParameterValue="PV2" }) ` -DisableRollback $true ``` **Example 2: Creates a new stack with the specified name.

The customization parameters can also be specified using 'Key' and 'Value' instead of 'ParameterKey' and 'ParameterValue'.
