Cloudformation Templates

Precautions

Cloudformation deployments are a very destructive process if wrongly done. We recommend setting the target environment as a fixed profile in the shell environment to avoid typing the profile with every deployment command. This can also done for the target region as our current region is only Singapore with very few deployments to North Virginia concerning ACM.

export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=ap-southeast
