Appendix C: AWS CloudFormation to Setup Cloud
AWS CloudFormation gives developers an easy way to create and manage a collection of related AWS
resources by a template code in either YAML or JSON format. Developers can use AWS CloudFormation
via browser console or AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). This service allows easy cloud configuration
by uploading the template code to cloud rather than creating and configuring the cloud step by step.
In this project, developers can use AWS CloudFormation to create and configure all the AWS resources
that are needed for the Wi-Fi Smart Device Enablement Kit. The AWS resources created in this chapter
are the same as the resources created in
All the template codes used for AWS CloudFormation can be found in the
cloud-formation-
templates\
directory and the template codes are coded in YAML format.
After finishing all the steps in this chapter, developers can successfully set up the AWS Cloud and refer to
to provision the Wi-Fi Smart Device Enablement Kit to the AWS Cloud account
setup in this chapter. Refer to
