AWS - Automatic deployment (.NET) to CloudFormation stack

问题

I have managed to set up a stack using a CloudFormation template for .NET.

I still haven't figured out how to deploy my application to the created stack. Also is there a way to automate the app deployment process?

I have looked at AWS docs but most of them seem to use cloud-init which from my understanding is Linux only.

Thanks

You need a combination of Userdata to fire off cfn-init (installed as part of the EC2Config scripts) and CloudInit::Metadata stuff to download the source.

I've written about how to bootstrap a windows instance on AWS using CloudFormation

Basically the flow is as follows

1. get your package onto a downloadable location
2. Update your cloud formation script to include userdata
3. In the Userdata, execute cfn-init
4. In the metadata, provide locations to download source files or zips
5. Execute commands section in the "Commands" section of the metadata

cloud-init is used with windows too. See the documentation for bootstrapping Windows stacks.
