Create Internet Gateway & Assign to EC2 in CloudFormation
To create an Internet Gateway and associate it with an EC2 instance using AWS CloudFormation, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a CloudFormation template
Create a new YAML or JSON file with a .yaml
or .json
extension (e.g., template.yaml
), and add the following contents:
|
|
Make sure to replace the placeholder values (CidrBlock
, AvailabilityZone
, ImageId
, etc.) with your desired values.
Step 2: Create a CloudFormation stack
- Open the AWS Management Console and navigate to the CloudFormation service.
- Click on “Create stack” or “Create a new stack” to start the stack creation process.
- Choose “Upload a template file” and select the CloudFormation template file you created in Step 1.
- Proceed through the wizard, providing a stack name and any additional configuration options as needed.
- Review the stack details and click on “Create stack” to start the stack creation process.
CloudFormation will now create the internet gateway, VPC, subnet, route table, and EC2 instance according to the template.
Once the stack creation process completes, your infrastructure will be provisioned, and the EC2 instance will be associated with the internet gateway.
It’s important to have a basic understanding of CloudFormation and AWS concepts when working with CloudFormation templates. Additionally, ensure that you have appropriate permissions and a properly configured AWS account to create the required resources.
