Create a profile named `takomo-example` in your `~/.aws/credentials` file: [takomo-example] aws_access_key_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX aws_secret_access_key=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ## Stack Configuration Our stack contains a VPC whose CIDR range can be parameterized. First, we need to create a `stacks` directory that will host all stack configurations. Create the directory and add there a file named `vpc.yml` with the following contents: regions: eu-west-1 parameters: CidrBlock: 10.0.0.0/24 ## Stack Template Next, we need to provide a CloudFormation template for our stack. Create `templates` directory next to the `stacks` directory, and add there a file named `vpc.yml` with the following contents: Description: My VPC Parameters: CidrBlock: Type: String Description: VPC CIDR block Resources: VPC: Type: AWS::EC2::VPC Properties: CidrBlock: !Ref CidrBlock ## Stack Deployment Alright, we are ready to deploy our stack. Change to the project root directory and run: tkm stacks deploy --profile takomo-example You will be prompted if you want to continue the deployment. You also need to review and approve the changes. If you answer yes to both questions, then the deploy will proceed, and given your AWS credentials had all the needed IAM permissions, it should also succeed. ## Clean Up You can delete the stack with command: tkm stacks undeploy --profile takomo-example ## Next Steps Take a look at https://takomo.io for more documentation. --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/takomo · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
