Logging in to the AWS Management Console - AWS CloudFormation

Logging in to the AWS Management Console

The AWS CloudFormation console allows you to create, monitor, update, and delete your AWS CloudFormation stacks with a web-based interface. It's part of the AWS Management Console.

You can access the AWS CloudFormation console in a number of ways:

  • Open the AWS CloudFormation console directly with the URL https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/. If you aren't logged in to the AWS Management Console yet, you need to log in before using the AWS CloudFormation console.

  • If you are logged into and using the AWS Management Console, you can access the AWS CloudFormation console from the home page by:

    • Selecting CloudFormation from under Management and Governance.

    • Searching for CloudFormation using the search bar.

    • Selecting CloudFormation from Recently visited services, if you've used CloudFormation recently.

If you don't have any AWS CloudFormation stacks running, you are presented with the option to Create a stack. Otherwise, you see a list of your currently running stacks.
