Prerequisite

• You must have an AWS account.
  • Create an AWS following the official tutorial from AWS -> https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/manage-acct-creating.html

IMPORTANT NOTE: Creating stacks in your AWS account will create and consume AWS resources, which will cost money. I do not take any responsibility for the additional cost to use these templates, you should get information about the prices by using the official website. Be sure to shut down/remove all the resources once you have finished to avoid ongoing charges to your AWS account (see instructions on cleaning up/tear down below).

How to use

1. Enter in your AWS account.
2. Search the service AWS CloudFormation and then click the service.
3. Inside this service you should search the option Stacks, click it.
4. Here you need go to click the dropdown menu Create stack > with new resources (standard).
5. Now inside the box Prerequisite - Prepare template you can choose how validate and prepare the template. I recommend you use Create template in Designer, then into the box below click in Create template in Designer.
6. Click in Template, select all inside and paste one of the templates.
7. Click in Create stack (Cloud icon ☁️), you should redirect to the before page, then click Next.
8. You will be redirect to Specify stack details, fill all the inputs then click Next.
9. You will be redirect to Configure stack options, go down and click Next.
10. You will be redirect to Review test, go down, sometimes will be require the section of Capabilities check the acknowledge box, read it and check it.
11. Click Submit.
12. Wait until the stack if created, you can refresh the status, must change from CREATE_IN_PROGRESS to CREATE_COMPLETE.
13. Into the tab Resources you can see all the services deployed.
