type Name:

string

param Name:

[REQUIRED]

The stack name.

type Region:

string

param Region:

[REQUIRED]

The stack AWS region, such as "us-east-1". For more information about Amazon regions, see Regions and Endpoints.

type VpcId:

string

param VpcId:

The ID of the VPC that the stack is to be launched into. It must be in the specified region. All instances are launched into this VPC, and you cannot change the ID later.

  • If your account supports EC2 Classic, the default value is no VPC.

  • If your account does not support EC2 Classic, the default value is the default VPC for the specified region.

If the VPC ID corresponds to a default VPC and you have specified either the DefaultAvailabilityZone or the DefaultSubnetId parameter only, AWS OpsWorks infers the value of the other parameter. If you specify neither parameter, AWS OpsWorks sets these parameters to the first valid Availability Zone for the specified region and the corresponding default VPC subnet ID, respectively.

If you specify a nondefault VPC ID, note the following:

  • It must belong to a VPC in your account that is in the specified region.

  • You must specify a value for DefaultSubnetId.

For more information on how to use AWS OpsWorks with a VPC, see Running a Stack in a VPC. For more information on default VPC and EC2 Classic, see Supported Platforms.

The default option is the current Amazon Linux version.

type HostnameTheme:

string

param HostnameTheme:

The stack's host name theme, with spaces are replaced by underscores. The theme is used to generate host names for the stack's instances. By default, HostnameTheme is set to Layer_Dependent, which creates host names by appending integers to the layer's short name. The other themes are:

  • Baked_Goods

  • Clouds

  • Europe_Cities

  • Fruits

  • Greek_Deities

  • Legendary_creatures_from_Japan

  • Planets_and_Moons

  • Roman_Deities

"{\"key1\": \"value1\", \"key2\": \"value2\",...}"

For more information on custom JSON, see Use Custom JSON to Modify the Stack Configuration JSON.

type ConfigurationManager:

dict

param ConfigurationManager:

The configuration manager. When you clone a stack we recommend that you use the configuration manager to specify the Chef version, 0.9, 11.4, or 11.10. The default value is currently 11.4.

  • Name (string) --

    The name. This parameter must be set to "Chef".

  • Version (string) --

    The Chef version. This parameter must be set to 0.9, 11.4, or 11.10. The default value is 11.4.

type UseOpsworksSecurityGroups:

boolean

param UseOpsworksSecurityGroups:

Whether to associate the AWS OpsWorks built-in security groups with the stack's layers.

AWS OpsWorks provides a standard set of built-in security groups, one for each layer, which are associated with layers by default. With UseOpsworksSecurityGroups you can instead provide your own custom security groups. UseOpsworksSecurityGroups has the following settings:

  • True - AWS OpsWorks automatically associates the appropriate built-in security group with each layer (default setting). You can associate additional security groups with a layer after you create it but you cannot delete the built-in security group.

  • False - AWS OpsWorks does not associate built-in security groups with layers. You must create appropriate EC2 security groups and associate a security group with each layer that you create. However, you can still manually associate a built-in security group with a layer on creation; custom security groups are required only for those layers that need custom settings.

For more information, see Create a New Stack.

type CustomCookbooksSource:

dict

param CustomCookbooksSource:

Contains the information required to retrieve an app or cookbook from a repository. For more information, see Creating Apps or Custom Recipes and Cookbooks.

  • Type (string) --

    The repository type.

  • Url (string) --

    The source URL.

  • Username (string) --

    This parameter depends on the repository type.

    • For Amazon S3 bundles, set Username to the appropriate IAM access key ID.

    • For HTTP bundles, Git repositories, and Subversion repositories, set Username to the user name.

  • Password (string) --

    When included in a request, the parameter depends on the repository type.

    • For Amazon S3 bundles, set Password to the appropriate IAM secret access key.

    • For HTTP bundles and Subversion repositories, set Password to the password.

    For more information on how to safely handle IAM credentials, see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-access-keys-best-practices.html.

    In responses, AWS OpsWorks returns *****FILTERED***** instead of the actual value.

  • SshKey (string) --

    In requests, the repository's SSH key.

    In responses, AWS OpsWorks returns *****FILTERED***** instead of the actual value.

  • Revision (string) --

    The application's version. AWS OpsWorks enables you to easily deploy new versions of an application. One of the simplest approaches is to have branches or revisions in your repository that represent different versions that can potentially be deployed.

type DefaultSshKeyName:

string

param DefaultSshKeyName:

A default Amazon EC2 key pair name. The default value is none. If you specify a key pair name, AWS OpsWorks installs the public key on the instance and you can use the private key with an SSH client to log in to the instance. For more information, see Using SSH to Communicate with an Instance and Managing SSH Access. You can override this setting by specifying a different key pair, or no key pair, when you create an instance.

type DefaultRootDeviceType:

string

param DefaultRootDeviceType:

The default root device type. This value is used by default for all instances in the stack, but you can override it when you create an instance. The default option is instance-store. For more information, see Storage for the Root Device.

type UpScaling:

dict

param UpScaling:

An AutoScalingThresholds object with the upscaling threshold configuration. If the load exceeds these thresholds for a specified amount of time, AWS OpsWorks starts a specified number of instances.

If the VPC ID corresponds to a default VPC and you have specified either the DefaultAvailabilityZone or the DefaultSubnetId parameter only, AWS OpsWorks infers the value of the other parameter. If you specify neither parameter, AWS OpsWorks sets these parameters to the first valid Availability Zone for the specified region and the corresponding default VPC subnet ID, respectively.

If you specify a nondefault VPC ID, note the following:

  • It must belong to a VPC in your account that is in the specified region.

type UseOpsworksSecurityGroups:

boolean

param UseOpsworksSecurityGroups:

Whether to associate the AWS OpsWorks built-in security groups with the stack's layers.

AWS OpsWorks provides a standard set of built-in security groups, one for each layer, which are associated with layers by default. With UseOpsworksSecurityGroups you can instead provide your own custom security groups. UseOpsworksSecurityGroups has the following settings:

  • True - AWS OpsWorks automatically associates the appropriate built-in security group with each layer (default setting). You can associate additional security groups with a layer after you create it but you cannot delete the built-in security group.

  • False - AWS OpsWorks does not associate built-in security groups with layers. You must create appropriate EC2 security groups and associate a security group with each layer that you create. However, you can still manually associate a built-in security group with a layer on creation; custom security groups are required only for those layers that need custom settings.

For more information, see Create a New Stack.
