AWS Cloudformation – 1 VPC, Two EC2 Instances

AWS Cloud
Tristan SelfLeave a Comment on AWS Cloudformation – 1 VPC, Two EC2 Instances

Another very simple AWS Cloudformation example. The template deploys the following:

  • VPC
  • Two Public Subnets
  • Internet Gateway
  • Route Table
  • Associations (between subnets, route table and VPC)
  • Two EC2 Instances (which are bootstrapped to run a simple HTTPD service)
