Description

Creates a new stack. For more information, see Create a New Stack. Required Permissions: To use this action, an IAM user must have an attached policy that explicitly grants permissions. For more information about user permissions, see Managing User Permissions.

Parameters

-AgentVersion <String>
The default AWS OpsWorks Stacks agent version. You have the following options:
  • Auto-update - Set this parameter to LATEST. AWS OpsWorks Stacks automatically installs new agent versions on the stack's instances as soon as they are available.
  • Fixed version - Set this parameter to your preferred agent version. To update the agent version, you must edit the stack configuration and specify a new version. AWS OpsWorks Stacks then automatically installs that version on the stack's instances.
The default setting is the most recent release of the agent. To specify an agent version, you must use the complete version number, not the abbreviated number shown on the console. For a list of available agent version numbers, call DescribeAgentVersions. AgentVersion cannot be set to Chef 12.2.You can also specify an agent version when you create or update an instance, which overrides the stack's default setting.

This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-HostnameTheme <String>
The stack's host name theme, with spaces replaced by underscores. The theme is used to generate host names for the stack's instances. By default, HostnameTheme is set to Layer_Dependent, which creates host names by appending integers to the layer's short name. The other themes are:
  • Baked_Goods
  • Clouds
  • Europe_Cities
  • Fruits
  • Greek_Deities_and_Titans
  • Legendary_creatures_from_Japan
  • Planets_and_Moons
  • Roman_Deities

To obtain a generated host name, call GetHostNameSuggestion, which returns a host name based on the current theme.
Required?False

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Name <String>
The stack name.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the Name parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^Name' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'StackId'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.OpsWorks.Model.CreateStackResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.OpsWorks.Model.CreateStackResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ServiceRoleArn <String>
The stack's AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role, which allows AWS OpsWorks Stacks to work with AWS resources on your behalf. You must set this parameter to the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an existing IAM role. For more information about IAM ARNs, see Using Identifiers.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-StackRegion <String>
The stack's AWS region, such as ap-south-1. For more information about Amazon regions, see Regions and Endpoints.In the AWS CLI, this API maps to the --stack-region parameter. If the --stack-region parameter and the AWS CLI common parameter --region are set to the same value, the stack uses a regional endpoint. If the --stack-region parameter is not set, but the AWS CLI --region parameter is, this also results in a stack with a regional endpoint. However, if the --region parameter is set to us-east-1, and the --stack-region parameter is set to one of the following, then the stack uses a legacy or classic region: us-west-1, us-west-2, sa-east-1, eu-central-1, eu-west-1, ap-northeast-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-2. In this case, the actual API endpoint of the stack is in us-east-1. Only the preceding regions are supported as classic regions in the us-east-1 API endpoint. Because it is a best practice to choose the regional endpoint that is closest to where you manage AWS, we recommend that you use regional endpoints for new stacks. The AWS CLI common --region parameter always specifies a regional API endpoint; it cannot be used to specify a classic AWS OpsWorks Stacks region.
Required?True
Position?2
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-UseCustomCookbook <Boolean>
Whether the stack uses custom cookbooks.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesUseCustomCookbooks
-UseOpsworksSecurityGroup <Boolean>
Whether to associate the AWS OpsWorks Stacks built-in security groups with the stack's layers.AWS OpsWorks Stacks provides a standard set of built-in security groups, one for each layer, which are associated with layers by default. With UseOpsworksSecurityGroups you can instead provide your own custom security groups. UseOpsworksSecurityGroups has the following settings:
  • True - AWS OpsWorks Stacks automatically associates the appropriate built-in security group with each layer (default setting). You can associate additional security groups with a layer after you create it, but you cannot delete the built-in security group.
  • False - AWS OpsWorks Stacks does not associate built-in security groups with layers. You must create appropriate EC2 security groups and associate a security group with each layer that you create. However, you can still manually associate a built-in security group with a layer on creation; custom security groups are required only for those layers that need custom settings.
For more information, see Create a New Stack.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesUseOpsworksSecurityGroups
-VpcId <String>
The ID of the VPC that the stack is to be launched into. The VPC must be in the stack's region. All instances are launched into this VPC. You cannot change the ID later.
  • If your account supports EC2-Classic, the default value is no VPC.
  • If your account does not support EC2-Classic, the default value is the default VPC for the specified region.
If the VPC ID corresponds to a default VPC and you have specified either the DefaultAvailabilityZone or the DefaultSubnetId parameter only, AWS OpsWorks Stacks infers the value of the other parameter. If you specify neither parameter, AWS OpsWorks Stacks sets these parameters to the first valid Availability Zone for the specified region and the corresponding default VPC subnet ID, respectively.If you specify a nondefault VPC ID, note the following:
  • It must belong to a VPC in your account that is in the specified region.
  • You must specify a value for DefaultSubnetId.
For more information about how to use AWS OpsWorks Stacks with a VPC, see Running a Stack in a VPC. For more information about default VPC and EC2-Classic, see Supported Platforms.
