Using Cloud Formation to Create a Stack

This is still an experiment.  The basic idea is to script out all pieces of our stack using a cloud formation template so we can spin it up on demand.  Here are some notes:

  • Editing a big giant block of JSON to describe our complete stack is pretty nuts.  Installing the [JSON Eclipse Editor|http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipsejsonedit/] helps a bit with formatting issues. (Download and drop in eclipse/dropins folder). Do Edit > Format Text in Eclipse.
  • You can get the configuration template in JSON format off an existing beanstalk instance using the command line tools as described in AWS forum.
  • Working Synapse and some examples templates from Amazon are checked into SVN under configuration/deployment/amazon
  • No labels
