00:00:08,870  -->  00:00:16,490
welcome back to part 2 of programming
and deployment using AWS CloudFormation

2

00:00:16,910  -->  00:00:22,769
in this part we're going to look at
using CloudFormer first of all we're

3

00:00:22,769  -->  00:00:29,670
going to look at creating the 
CloudFormer tool from a cloud formation

4

00:00:29,670  -->  00:00:35,640
template and the CloudFormer tool it's
an ec2 instance and it has some code on

5

00:00:35,640  -->  00:00:41,340
there that can create it can create
cloud formation templates from our

6

00:00:41,340  -->  00:00:47,640
existing resources so then we can use
that CloudFormer template

7

00:00:47,640  -->  00:00:52,980
to create a snapshot of all of our
instances or all of our Amazon Web

8

00:00:52,980  -->  00:00:57,690
Services resources that we want that
could be a VPC configuration it could be

9

00:00:57,690  -->  00:01:03,239
an ec2 instance it could be anything so
first thing we'll do is we'll go through

10

00:01:03,239  -->  00:01:09,390
and create a stack and we just call this
CloudFormer and we're going to select

11

00:01:09,390  -->  00:01:14,310
it one of the sample templates so there
will be a CloudFormer template so down

12

00:01:14,310  -->  00:01:22,380
here on the tools cloud form and we
click on next so in the CloudFormer

13

00:01:22,380  -->  00:01:27,330
template obviously it has as we've got a
section there to ask for parameters and

14

00:01:27,330  -->  00:01:30,840
so the parameters is to ask for a
username and password so it's got the

15

00:01:30,840  -->  00:01:37,020
password so I'll just put something in
there now and then username and click on

16

00:01:37,020  -->  00:01:42,180
next we won't worry about tagging this
there are some Advanced Options there so

17

00:01:42,180  -->  00:01:46,320
we can again do a notification we won't
worry about any notifications or

18

00:01:46,320  -->  00:01:52,079
anything like that so there we have it
so it's a name CloudFormer the template

19

00:01:52,079  -->  00:01:56,040
URL is there we can have a look at that
later if you'd like to see how the

20

00:01:56,040  -->  00:02:03,479
actual template is created we have the
username and a password we've got here

21

00:02:03,479  -->  00:02:08,099
create I am I am resources which is
saying false okay the reason it's saying

22

00:02:08,099  -->  00:02:11,790
false is because we haven't acknowledged
here so I acknowledge that this template

23

00:02:11,790  -->  00:02:18,480
will be causing
AWS CloudFormation to create a I am

24

00:02:18,480  -->  00:02:22,950
resources so just not advising you there
that you're going to be creating I and

25

00:02:22,950  -->  00:02:28,470
resources and getting access so now
changes to true we can see there and

26

00:02:28,470  -->  00:02:37,320
we've got rollback on failure so that's
fine click on create and again we go

27

00:02:37,320  -->  00:02:40,980
through the creating progress and then
that will eventually change to create

28

00:02:40,980  -->  00:02:50,640
complete ok so eventually after quite a
bit of time it's not quick like the

29

00:02:50,640  -->  00:02:55,710
backspace lab template its as quick as
that because that's only creating just

30

00:02:55,710  -->  00:02:58,620
one database is creating quite a few
resources so it takes a little bit

31

00:02:58,620  -->  00:03:02,490
longer so you can see cloud former
create complete there's a whole heap of

32

00:03:02,490  -->  00:03:06,480
stuff that's going on there whole lot of
resources that have been created if we

33

00:03:06,480  -->  00:03:14,040
go into the outputs and it will tell us
the website URL of our low cloud

34

00:03:14,040  -->  00:03:20,840
formation ec2 instance so we just click
on that and we'll get us into CloudFormer

35

00:03:22,250  -->  00:03:32,810
ok so just a security warning there so
we're just going to advanced and proceed

36

00:03:32,810  -->  00:03:39,050
ok so we put in our username and
password that we created previously

37

00:03:46,420  -->  00:03:51,370
okay so there we are we've we've
successfully created cloud form and

38

00:03:51,370  -->  00:03:56,800
we've successfully connected into it
through the to the web interface so

39

00:03:56,800  -->  00:03:59,890
we're just going to go here route us
this region and we're going to create a

40

00:03:59,890  -->  00:04:04,870
template based on resources in that
region on our on our AWS account so

41

00:04:04,870  -->  00:04:09,760
quick create template and what it's
doing now it's going through and

42

00:04:09,760  -->  00:04:14,530
analyzing the accounts or going through
and checking what's what resources we

43

00:04:14,530  -->  00:04:19,269
have be it of VPC being an ec2 instance
speed a DynamoDB database we're just

44

00:04:19,269  -->  00:04:29,070
going to pick up a dynamo DB database
and use that so just put in there a

45

00:04:29,070  -->  00:04:37,240
description and click continue
and we're not going to be putting any of

46

00:04:37,240  -->  00:04:40,810
these resources here into our template
so we just key could make sure they're

47

00:04:40,810  -->  00:04:45,930
all deselected so can we just keep can just
click and continue

48

00:05:03,849  -->  00:05:08,409
okay so we've come to storage and so
this is what we want to replicate so

49

00:05:08,409  -->  00:05:13,240
we're just going to replicate that one
that we made before so the backspace -

50

00:05:13,240  -->  00:05:17,529
lab table of products will replicate
that one or will make a cloud former

51

00:05:17,529  -->  00:05:23,199
template of that and it should be very
similar to the template that we created

52

00:05:23,199  -->  00:05:32,249
manually so again just keep continuing
through and not selecting anything

53

00:05:38,650  -->  00:05:41,800
okay so what we're doing here is a
summary and we're just going to be

54

00:05:41,800  -->  00:05:48,220
creating a table based upon that
resource that we've already got and

55

00:05:48,220  -->  00:06:00,370
continue okay so it's now created our
cloud formation template okay so we can

56

00:06:00,370  -->  00:06:08,919
say that template summary okay so it
saves it to s3 so now we can go in and

57

00:06:08,919  -->  00:06:13,150
we can so to these we you have created
an AWS cloud formation template and

58

00:06:13,150  -->  00:06:16,900
saved it to s3 so we can access that
later on so just go into ear and we'll

59

00:06:16,900  -->  00:06:24,100
launch that stack okay
so CloudFormer launch stack so it's

60

00:06:24,100  -->  00:06:29,139
already put that in there it's got the
URL for that template that we created

61

00:06:29,139  -->  00:06:32,430
using cloud former

62

00:06:39,260  -->  00:06:47,030
okay so again we've got the options
there we can click on next and okay that

63

00:06:47,030  -->  00:06:55,370
looks fine and we'll create that and if
you refresh your screen we've got our

64

00:06:55,370  -->  00:06:59,420
three stacks there so it's
doing the cloud former launched stack

65

00:06:59,420  -->  00:07:06,040
that's going through that and it's
creating those resources

66

00:07:08,980  -->  00:07:17,300
okay so we're creating a dynamo DB table
and this is going to be called table

67

00:07:17,300  -->  00:07:24,800
backspace lab table products and our
stack is finished being completed

68

00:07:24,800  -->  00:07:28,910
there's a being created so to create
complete so now we can go into DynamoDB

69

00:07:28,910  -->  00:07:33,470
and we'll have a look at that so just
refresh the screen there and we can see

70

00:07:33,470  -->  00:07:40,460
there we've got our our databases being
created and we can see there we've got

71

00:07:40,460  -->  00:07:51,560
in the details so we've got here ID with
the primary hash key and the provision

72

00:07:51,560  -->  00:07:55,580
throughput capacity so the one
difference is that it didn't ask us for

73

00:07:55,580  -->  00:08:00,050
the parameters so because it's created
an exact copy of what we've got it

74

00:08:00,050  -->  00:08:03,950
doesn't ask for parameters so it's only
puts in this only creates resources

75

00:08:03,950  -->  00:08:09,980
it doesn't copy parameters okay so in
the US East region we've got our ARN

76

00:08:09,980  -->  00:08:13,330
there and that's fine so we're going to
indexes

77

00:08:13,330  -->  00:08:19,430
again no local secondary index but it's
it's copied the global secondary index

78

00:08:19,430  -->  00:08:22,610
which is product category price
exactly the same and product category as

79

00:08:22,610  -->  00:08:28,100
the hash key and price as a range key
all put all attributes are being

80

00:08:28,100  -->  00:08:32,030
projected and we've got the read
capacity units and write capacity units

81

00:08:32,030  -->  00:08:37,280
so again it hasn't asked us for that
it's just taken what we've created

82

00:08:37,280  -->  00:08:42,370
originally and I'll see you in the next
lesson
