Command line helper for CloudFormation that uses the AWS CLI and simplifies the creation and deletion of stacks.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/patrickbcullen/cfn-stack/master/cfn-stack
chmod +x cfn-stack
cd myapp/
./cfn-stack init
# edit cfn-stack.ini to fit your environment
./cfn-stack up
./cfn-stack down
Cfn-stack uses a config file in the current directory called cfn-stack.ini to configure all the parameters for CloudFormation. You can create an initial version of this file with the cfn-stack init command or you can create it manually.
stack_name="my-stack"
region="us-east-1"
