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 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.

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.
