cfncli

cfncli is a command line tool that simplifies the creation of Cloudformation stacks. It's designed to be a very simple wrapper around the Cloudformation API, but adds the following features compared to the AWS cli :

• Can wait for the stack creation/update/deletion to be complete before returning
• Prints the stack events on the console
• Gives back a return code indicating if the operation was a success or failure

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cfncli'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install cfncli

cfncli help
cfncli help apply

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
