CloudFormation Wrapper

A ruby library to simplify management and deployments of AWS CloudFormation Stacks.

This gem provides helper methods for deployments of CloudFormation Stacks.

Recommended: Use Bundler for all your Ruby projects! Add the cloudformation_wrapper to your Gemfile:

  gem 'cloudformation_wrapper'

Or install globally using RubyGems:

gem install cloudformation_wrapper

Use the static deploy method within the CloudFormationWrapper::StackManager to deploy a CloudFormation Stack.

CloudFormationWrapper uses the AWS SDK to manage CloudFormation stacks. Therefore, it utilizes the Aws::CloudFormation::Client for integration. You can provide the client yourself, pass in the credentials, or it will try to read them from Environment Variables. See the Credential Provider Chain for more details.

CloudFormationWrapper::StackManager.deploy(
  region: 'us-east-1',
  template_path: '/path/to/template/file',
  name: 'MyCloudFormationStack',
  parameters: {
    StackEnvironment: 'production',
    CreateS3Bucket: true,
    OtherTemplateParameter: 'TemplateParameterValue'
  },
  wait_for_stack: true
)
