I'm having an issue getting the hang of using cli parameters with cloudformation deploy. I'm trying to pass in the name for the S3 bucket that I want to create, and the cli is complaining when I use --parameters to do this:
aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ../infrastructure.yml --stack-name stripe-python --parameters ParameterKey=S3BucketNameParameter,ParameterValue=lambda-artifacts-948d01bc80800b36
usage: aws [options] <command> <subcommand> [<subcommand> ...] [parameters]
To see help text, you can run:
aws help
aws <command> help
aws <command> <subcommand> help
aws: error: argument subcommand: Invalid choice, valid choices are:
push | register
deregister | install
Obviously, omitting the parameter doesn't work either:
aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ../infrastructure.yml --stack-name stripe-python
An error occurred (ValidationError) when calling the CreateChangeSet operation: Parameters: [S3BucketNameParameter] must have values
When I look at the documentation for cloudformation deploy, it seems to not support --parameters but instead --parameter-overrides, which I've also tried with no success:
aws cloudformation deploy --template-file ../infrastructure.yml --stack-name stripe-python --parameter-overrides S3BucketNameParameter=lambda-artifacts-948d01bc80800b36
An error occurred (ValidationError) when calling the CreateChangeSet operation: Parameters: [S3BucketNameParameter] must have values
So, I'm kind of stumped here. Here's the template file's contents:
cat ../infrastructure.yml
AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'
Transform: 'AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31'
Description: An AWS Lambda application that calls the Stripe API to tokenize and charge credit cards
Parameters:
S3BucketNameParameter:
Type: String
Description: Bucket name for deployment artifacts
Resources:
S3Bucket:
Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
DeletionPolicy: Retain
Properties:
BucketName: !Ref S3BucketNameParameter
Any suggestions on the correct approach here?
