Stelligent CloudFormation Templates

Purpose

This repository contains a collaboration of general and specific Amazon Web Services CloudFormation Template Examples. The basic design is a layered approach so there is less repeat content between all the templates. That way you can build a custom environment by picking the solution templates you wish to use. In other words you won't see a VPC created over and over throughout the templates. You simply use the VPC template then move to the next piece you would like to create.

Also, The general design leans towards not having to refactor the template to fit your account/environment. By using the configured parameters from the console or CLI you should be able to use the template without the need to edit it. The templates generally output all the information you may need for another template. So, be sure to examine the Outputs tab after creating the stack.

The AWS CLI examples can be dropped in a shell script and/or added to your CI/CD solution to spin up solutions in a fully automated fashion. Of course logic around updating stacks, deleting and checking for success/failure should be addressed.

With a simple shell script and a customized parameter json file you can spin up stacks quickly and consistently. Furthermore it's just as easy to tear a CloudFormation stack versus if all the objects where created manually.

Templates

Categories

Orchestrators

Back to Top

One template to rule them all... These are master templates that call nested templates. These are good to build out a full environment without having to run each template individually. Coupled with a custom parameters JSON file can give you a one command solution to a complex setup and eliminate the need to duplicate code.

For instance you could have a VPC, NAT, RDS and Autoscaling Webapp behind an ELB and Update DNS all in one command using various foundational templates that I've creates to be used together.

Select the foundational pieces for building out an infrastructure from the ground up.

Creates a Site-to-Site BGP VPN Connection in and existing VPC with public and/or private networks. There is an option to not exclude allowing VPN access to the public networks. Simply select false for the 'Include Public Subnets', leave default value in Public Network ACL and Route Table. The values will just be ignored. This only sets up the AWS side of the VPN. After the CloudFormation creates the objects you'll then need to configure your remote VPN Device. Here's an article that gives the configuration steps for configuring a Sophos UTM v9 VPN endpoint. This assumes that the Private Network ACL allows all outbound. Lastly, the Private Network ACL inbound is updated to allow the remote network block specified.

Prerequisites
  1. VPC
    • Public Subnet, IGW, Private Subnet/s.
    • Either use an existing VPC Infrastructure or you can use the following VPC Template to create a one.
  2. Remote Network (Office) VPN Device WAN IP
  3. Remote Network CIDR Block to Allow Access and Propagate.
Create Details
  1. Customer Gateway
  2. Virtual Private Gateway
  3. VPN Connection
