cfncli is a command line tool that simplifies the creation of Cloudformation stacks. It's designed to be a very simple wrapper around the Cloudformation API, but adds the following features compared to the AWS cli :
- Can wait for the stack creation/update/deletion to be complete before returning
- Prints the stack events on the console
- Gives back a return code indicating if the operation was a success or failure
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'cfncli'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install cfncli
cfncli help
cfncli help apply
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
