aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <STACK-NAME> --template-body file://<FILE-PATH> --region us-east-1 --parameters ParameterKey=BucketNameParameter,ParameterValue=<BUCKET-NAME> --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM

With URL

aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <STACK-NAME> --template-url 'https://tn-s3-cloud-formation.s3.amazonaws.com/aws-s3-cloud-formation.yaml' --region us-east-1 --parameters ParameterKey=BucketNameParameter,ParameterValue=<BUCKET-NAME> --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM

The following arguments are required:

• --stack-name <STACK-NAME> this must be unique
• --parameters ParameterKey=BucketNameParameter,ParameterValue=<BUCKET-NAME> BUCKET-NAME must be unique and lowercased

• Click next and pass in the required parameter value (S3 Bucket Name)

Get the appropriate output variables

When the cloud formation is done you can get the Access Key Id, Secret and Bucket name from the outputs

Using the cli

aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <STACK-NAME> from the previously create command

This will return a json object to retrieve the variables tab down to the Outputs key
