Create a Stack
aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name stack-name --template-body file://.../stack-template.yml [--parameters ParameterKey=Parm1,ParameterValue=test1 ParameterKey=Parm2,ParameterValue=test2]
If the template is supposed to create IAM roles, the command line will fail with a message similar to "An error occurred (InsufficientCapabilitiesException) when calling the CreateStack operation: Requires capabilities : [CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM]", unless the capability is explicitly provided on command line with:
aws cloudformation create-stack --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM ...
Delete a Stack
aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name stack-name
