Step 5: Provision a CloudFormation stack

Note

You only need to complete this step if you set the --provision-application parameter for the script to FALSE.

When you specify the --provision-application parameter with a value of FALSE, the script output provides the name and URL for the CloudFormation template. This template represents a proposed replacement for your existing OpsWorks stack and layer.

You can provision the template by using the Application Manager template library (recommended), or by using CloudFormation. For more information about working with the template library, see Working with the template library in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide.
