Create a Stack - General

Specify basic information about your stack in this section.

Specify a template to apply to your stack.

1. Choose among the available options for applying a template:
   • Select Use sample template to choose from a list of pre-made templates.
   • Select Upload template to browse and apply a template from your local hard drive.
     Note: Acceptable file formats are JSON files (max size: 460,800 bytes). For more information, go to Template Anatomy in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
   • Select Use template from URL to choose a template from a web address.
     Note: The URL must point to a template (max size: 460,800 bytes) anywhere publically available that you have read permissions to, located in the same region as the stack. The maximum length of the URL itself is 1024 characters long.
   A Warning dialog opens if you are trying to use a template that was not originally designed for this cloud (for example, using an AWS template on a Eucalyptus cloud). Based on the information provided on the Warning dialog, you can either:

   • Expand Details to convert unsupported parameters
   • Click the I Understand, Use This Template button and all the unsupported parameters will convert automatically
   • Click Go back, I want to select a different template to discard the current template selection and repeat the above steps to choose another template
2. If you are trying to use an AWS template that contains services and resources that Eucalyptus does not yet support, a Warning dialog box opens.
   1. Click to expand Details to view the unsupported items.
      Any remaining unsupported items will be automatically removed.
   2. Once the chosen template is free of incompatible items, click I Understand, Use This Template to proceed.
3. To apply tags, proceed to the next section. Otherwise, click Next to proceed to the Parameters tab.

1. Type the key name for your tag into the name... text box.
   Note: Tags cannot start with "euca:" or "aws:".
2. Type the value for your tag into the value... text box.
3. Click the Add Tag button.
4. If you wish to add additional tags, repeat the preceding steps.
5. To delete one or more tags, move your mouse over the tag you wish to delete, and click the X button.
