[Akarthikesh]

my code is

{
"AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",
"Description": "cf feb 2019",
"Resources": {
"ourvpc": {
"name": "AWS::EC2::VPC",
"Type": "Aws",
"Properties": {
"CidrBlock": "10.0.0.0/16",
"Tags": [
{
"Key": "awsvpc",
"Value": "overall"
}
]
}
}
}
}

[dharmatejadevops]

replace name with Type and remove the Type key on your code.
follow this for creating vpc
"name": {
"Type": "AWS::EC2::VPC",
"Properties": {
"CidrBlock": "----/--",
"Tags": [-]
}
}

Hi Bryan,
you have to strictly follow the syntax mentioned in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-ec2-instance.html
I see some extra key elements. This will not be processed by amazon cloudformation

Hi shaikkhajaibrahim, sorry by the questions, I'm Systems Engenier, starting in DevOps World because i'm applying for a scholarship place in a company in Spain, so I've been required to do this following Challenge, which have 1 week as a deadline 2. Code Challenge The tasks to be performed are the following: ● Generation of the node server using the swagger available at https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mmi-codechallenge/swagger-users-v1.json ● Installing said server on an AWS machine ● Configure machine self-scaling and monitoring. ● Generation of a stress test script (using jmeter, postman or SOAPUi) to verify that the machine scales. ● Sending the results. On the other hand, it will be valued: 1) Installing the code using a ci (Continuous Integration) server (for example, gitlab). 2) Use of the AWS API for machine creation (use cloudformation). 3) Use of technologies as ansible. The development time is one week but much better if you can send it to us before. 3. Delivery It must be delivered: 1) Url with the application deployed. 2) Results of stress tests and jmeter. 3) Code used to deploy or generate the infrastructure. 4) Postman test In this Way, I started to research last saturday, learning some concepts about APIs, AWS services, Cloud Formatión, Js, Node js and so on, but I believe that the key is experience which in my case is limited or nothing, just for youtube videos or tutorial. Finally, I'll be strongly gratefull to you, if you could give son guiandce or avise. greetings, Jim Dios El mar., 17 sept. 2019 a las 13:53, shaikkhajaibrahim (< notifications@github.com>) escribió:
