Lazy Stack

A simple CloudFormation stack that lets Amazon do your job for you.

VPC

• Networking Layout
• Public Subnets/DMZ - Has NAT/VPN
• AWS Subnets - ELBs, ElastiCache, RDS
• SemiPrivate Subnets - Anything with an EIP that needs direct internet routing
• Private Subnets - Anything without an EIP that goes through the NAT

ELB

• SSL Termination for Brain, then port 80 inside the VPC.
• Use Route53 to weight between ELB endpoints for upgrades or outages. Production normally has weight of 10, but can be split 1:9 or any number of ways

CloudFormation

• CloudFormation Templates
• Create or re-use S3 Bucket with a subdirectory called /templates/ and upload the nat.json

How to Setup Initial CloudFormation Environments

• Inside of AWS GUI Console - Load the global.json
• Take the SQS/SNS and feed it to the region.json into the CloudFormation GUI
