Deploying a multi-node CloudFormation stack
About this task
Use multi-node CloudFormation to create a cluster.
Note:
You cannot expand an AWS single node into a AWS cluster. You must create AWS clusters
from the beginning. However, after an AWS cluster is created it can be expanded. For more
on page 59.
Before you begin
• Use standard Amazon Web Services procedures to create the required network setup,
including Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) settings and Security Groups.
• Ensure that you have network access to the Amazon VPC before deploying an AMI.
• Create a multi-node CloudFormation template as described in
on page 52.
• Create and apply load balancer certificates. The ARN value created during the certificate
import is required for this procedure.
