Deploying CloudFormation stacks through an easy way

Overview

Deploying CloudFormation stacks through an easy way

Requirements

• Access to the aws account though awscli. Tools such as aws-vault are a nice option to consider
• Python dependencies located in requirements.txt they might be installed with the command:
  • python3 -m pip install --user -r requirements.txt

Installation on linux environment

# Clone/download this repo
git clone https://github.com/MarcosBernal/cloudformation-manager ~/WORKSPACE/cloudformation-manager
# Alternatively a linked executable file can be created. In a debian based OS might be achieved with:
sudo ln -s ~/WORKSPACE/cloudformation-manager/cloudformation_manager.py /usr/local/bin/cloudformation-manager

Tested on debian (ubuntu 18.04)

Use

The program can be used in the following way:

cloudformation-manager [YOUR_FOLDER_PATH_WITH_CLOUDFORMATION_FILES]

where the folder specified as argument contains two files: a config.yml and a template.yml

Example

The following example creates two stacks from the templates stored in the example folder.

The first stack creates a sns topic to the email specified in terminal (change the template to add it as a literal if you prefer). The second stack uses the exported variables created in the first stack (without being hard-linked as import value does).

cloudformation-manager ~/WORKSPACE/cloudformation-manager/example/1_sns ~/WORKSPACE/cloudformation-manager/example/2_bucket
