How to deploy a template with AWS CLI
In Chapter 2, Hosting a Static Website on Amazon S3 Bucket, we used AWS CLI to create an S3 bucket as a static website. AWS CLI supports CloudFormation as well so that we can create a stack with only a command line.
Getting ready
As we have already used AWS CLI in Chapter 2, Hosting a Static Website on Amazon S3 Bucket, the requirement is the same as before. We just need to add a full CloudFront access policy for the IAM user. In order to use CloudFormation with AWS CLI, you need to meet the following requirements:
- Install and set up AWS CLI on your PC (http://aws.amazon.com/cli/)
- Configure an IAM user and a policy to enable full access to S3, full access to CloudFront, and issue an IAM credential.
