AWS\u00a0Cloud formation\u00a0\u00a0is a service used to create and manage a collection of other AWS services. This service is used to automate the infrastructure setup and deployment.<\/p>\n

In this article, we will be launching a LAMP Stack Instance using\u00a0Cloud Formation. For this we are using\u00a0Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (PV)\u00a0– ami-9a7724c8<\/span> (64-bit)<\/div>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Steps to Launch:<\/h3>\n

<\/strong><\/span>
\n1) Create a .json file
\n2) Open AWS Console
\n3) Browse to Cloudformation, CREATE STACK and upload the .json file<\/div>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Create a .json file<\/h3>\n

<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n

[js]
\n{
\n "Resources" :
\n {
\n "WebServer":{<\/p>\n

"Type": "AWS::EC2::Instance",
\n "Properties":{

\n "Description" : "URL for newly created LAMP stack"
\n }
\n }
\n}
\n[\/js]\n<\/p><\/div>\n

[js] **Note: Keyname and Security groups must exists on your account [\/js]<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Open AWS Console > Browse to Cloud Formation >Create Stack<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"cloudformation2\"<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Once you click Create Stack<\/strong> button, it will ask for the Stack Name<\/strong> and the .json<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n

\"cloudformation3\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Upload the .json<\/strong><\/span> file and Follow the wizard. The next wizard ask you to enter the Key Value name for the Instance:<\/p>\n

\"cloudfomration4\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Click\u00a0the Next Button<\/span> and the launch the stack. Once you launch the stack, you will get the following screen with launching process events.<\/p>\n

\"cloudformation6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If everything goes well, you will get the the CREATE_COMPLETE<\/span> message in the Status Tab. If any error occurs then a ROLLBACK<\/span> event is invoked which will delete the stack.<\/p>\n

Since we got the CREATE_COMPLETE<\/span> message with a output parameter that we have defined in our json which returns the public DNS name of the Instance.<\/p>\n

\"cloudformation7\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
By Clicking on the output\u00a0URL, it takes us to the apache default page: <\/span><\/p>\n

\"cloudformation12\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
We can check the Console to see our running Instances:<\/p>\n

\"cloudformation10\"<\/p>\n

<\/a>We can see the Public DNS<\/span> is same.<\/p>\n

To Terminate this Instance we can delete the stack from the Cloud Formation Wizard. Deleting the stack will terminate all the instances launched by that stack.<\/p>\n
