CloudFormation Nested Stacks - S3

This project demonstrates the creation of a CloudFormation nested stack that creates an S3 bucket and uploads an index.html file for testing purposes.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure you have the following:

• AWS account with appropriate permissions
• AWS CLI installed and configured
• Basic knowledge of CloudFormation

Usage

Follow the steps below to deploy the nested stack:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the cloudformation-nested-stacks-s3 directory.
3. Open the template.yaml file and review the CloudFormation template.
4. Modify the template as needed to customize the S3 bucket settings.
5. Run the following command to create the nested stack:

aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name my-s3-stack --template-body file://template.yaml

6. Wait for the stack creation to complete.
7. Once the stack is created, navigate to the AWS S3 console and verify that the bucket has been created.
8. Upload the index.html file to the newly created S3 bucket.
9. Access the uploaded index.html file using the S3 bucket URL.

Cleanup

To clean up the resources created by the nested stack, run the following command:

aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name my-s3-stack

Please note that this will delete the S3 bucket and all its contents.
