```

### Configuring the CloudFormation Stack

#### Stack name

- Enter a **Stack Name** *- this name will be used to name the stack and all resources, so name it something meaningful.*
  - *Example:* `telos-license-server`

> [!NOTE]
> Note that instructions are included directly in the template. Steps through each field in the template and read each description carefully.

### Deploy the Stack

- After filling in all the required fields in the CloudFormation template, scroll down to the bottom of the page.
- Click **Next** to proceed.
- *Optionally specify additional TAGS, IAM Permissions, or other advanced AWS CloudFormation options.*

> *These optional features are not directly supported by Telos Alliance. For guidance on your organization's needs regarding CloudFormation advanced feature, consult the AWS Documentation or the AWS Support team.*

- Click **Next** to proceed.

> [!NOTE]
> **STOP!!!** This next step is when the stack will deploy resources and you will be billed by AWS for the resources you deploy. If you click **Submit**, AWS will start billing you for the resources this CloudFormation template provisions.

- Scroll through the appearing stack review page, reviewing the data and settings you entered for accuracy.
- If you are happy with the settings, click **Submit** to deploy the CloudFormation Stack.
