Infrastructure as Code: Deploy CloudFormation Stack

We'll cover the following...

Objective

  • Recreate our infrastructure using CloudFormation.

Steps

  • Deploy the CloudFormation Stack.

Deploying

Now it’s time to deploy our infrastructure. Let’s run the deploy-infra.sh command. We can check the status of our stack from the CloudFormation console. The events tab shows which resources are being created, modified, or destroyed.

When successful, the script should show us the URL for reaching our application.

curl ec2-35-174-3-173.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080
