Open the template file using a text editor and modify the necessary parameters or resource configurations according to your needs. Detailed instructions are usually provided within the template files themselves or in accompanying documentation.
-
Execute the Deployment: Execute the deployment command appropriate for your chosen deployment method. For example, if you are using the AWS CLI, you can use the following command:
aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name my-stack --template-body file://path/to/template.yaml --parameters ParameterKey=KeyPairName,ParameterValue=my-keypairReplace my-stack with your desired stack name, path/to/template.yaml with the path to the selected template file, and KeyPairName and my-keypair with any required parameters and their values.
-
Monitor the Deployment: Once the deployment command completes, monitor the progress of the stack creation in your chosen deployment method. You can check the AWS Management Console, use the AWS CLI, or utilize AWS SDKs for programmatic access.
-
Validate the Solution: After the stack creation is complete, validate that the deployed solution is functioning as expected. Refer to the documentation or specific instructions provided with the template for guidance on how to test and verify the solution.
