Selecting a Stack Template for Updating a Stack on the AWS CloudFormation Console

To select a stack template for updating a stack

1. On the Select Template page of the Update Stack wizard, either:

   • Select Use a sample template to update a stack with a standard sample template. You can use this option if you've been modifying one of the sample templates and want to get back to the original settings. You can also use this option if one of the sample templates has been updated and you want to take advantage of the updated template configuration.

   • Select Upload a Template File and then either type the path to your stack template in the field, or click the Browse button to select your stack.

   • Select Provide a Template URL and enter the URL of the updated stack template. Use this option if your stack template is in an Amazon S3 bucket.

   

2. Click Continue to proceed to specifying parameters.
