In today’s article we’re going to take it a step further and see how we can better define our input parameters. We’ll also dive into the ideas behind splitting our workloads into multiple templates and how we can pass details between them.
Continuing our CloudFormation series we dive into the inner workings of CloudFormation templates, how to write them and how to manage them
If you’ve spent any time in the land of DevOps over the last few years you will have no doubt heard of the term “Infrastructure as Code”… The idea of defining your infrastructure environment in source code so that it’s easier to track changes and manage versions over time.

In the final part of this series, I will demonstrate how to configure EC2 Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) through the use of AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Run Commands using a tag based approach to target EC2 instances to run our IMDS commands against. In addition, I will look at automating this process using EventBridge to maintain IMDS on a periodic basis.
In this two-part series, I will explain and demonstrate how to update your EC2 instances to use IMDSv2 as well as automate this process through the use of SSM Documents that can be provisioned within your CloudFormation templates.
In this post we look at one of the most common problems Terraform encounters – managing rolling updates to AWS AutoScaling Groups – and how you can utilise CloudFormation to solve this.
AWS recently announced ChatBot integration with Chime and Slack… let’s see how easy it is to set up and get running.
In this post we explore how to integrate cfn-lint with Buildkite for testing CloudFormation templates, ensuring that the CloudFormation stack will only be deployed if it’s correct.
