Direct Deployment Using AWS CLI

The Lightbits SDS CF stack can also be deployed using AWS CLI. You will need to at least fill out the mandatory fields as described in the CF Parameters section of this guide. The remaining parameters can be left as the defaults.

Bash
    
$ aws cloudformation  create-stack --stack-name <YOUR_STACK_NAME>         --template-url <PROVIDED_STACK_TEMPLATE_URL>           --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM                 --region <REGION_WHERE_STACK_DEPLOYED>         --parameters ParameterKey=S3ConfBucketName,ParameterValue=<CONFIG_BUCKET> ParameterKey=AvailabilityZone,ParameterValue=<AZ> ParameterKey=ConnectivityCIDR,ParameterValue=<CIDR>ParameterKey=KeyPairName,ParameterValue=<SSH_KEY>
Copy

If the stack deployment initiation was successful, the response you should get back is the stack ID/ARN.

The following is an example of a deployment using AWS CLI, with provided parameters for the following:

Instance Type = i3en.6xlarge
Instance Count = 5

The exact parameters provided to the CF create-stack aws command need to be adjusted per the actual stack and configuration. This is meant to illustrate command usage.
