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.

[REQUIRED]
The stack AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role, which allows AWS OpsWorks to work with AWS resources on your behalf. You must set this parameter to the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an existing IAM role. If you create a stack by using the AWS OpsWorks console, it creates the role for you. You can obtain an existing stack's IAM ARN programmatically by calling DescribePermissions. For more information about IAM ARNs, see Using Identifiers.
string
The ARN of an IAM profile that is the default profile for all of the stack's EC2 instances. For more information about IAM ARNs, see Using Identifiers.

string
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
European_Cities
Fruits
Greek_Deities
Legendary_Creatures_from_Japan
Planets_and_Moons
Roman_Deities
Scottish_Islands
US_Cities
Wild_Cats
To obtain a generated host name, call GetHostNameSuggestion , which returns a host name based on the current theme.
string

string
The stack's default VPC subnet ID. This parameter is required if you specify a value for the VpcId parameter. All instances are launched into this subnet unless you specify otherwise when you create the instance. If you also specify a value for DefaultAvailabilityZone , the subnet must be in that zone. For information on default values and when this parameter is required, see the VpcId parameter description.
string
A string that contains user-defined, custom JSON. It is used to override the corresponding default stack configuration JSON values. The string should be in the following format and must escape characters such as '"'.:

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".

ManageBerkshelf (boolean) --
Whether to enable Berkshelf.
BerkshelfVersion (string) --
The Berkshelf version.
boolean
Whether to use custom cookbooks.
boolean
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.

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. UseOpsworksSecurityGroups allows you to 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.

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 .

boolean
Whether the stack uses custom cookbooks.
boolean
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.
