CloudFormation

• We will have this as our header AWSTemplateFormatVersion "2010-09-09".
• Then have the description of our Cloudformation script.
• This is our command for creating a CloudFormation Script via the AWS CLI.

  aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name myFirstVpcTest02 --region us-east-1 --template-body file://[Name of the Stack]
  

• We can also update the Stack yo the existing deployed stack to avoid any errors.

  aws cloudformation update-stack  --stack-name myFirstTest --region us-east-1 --template-body file://[Name of the Stack]
  
  

• We also have this command for describing the stack.

  aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name [Name of the stack]
