Procedure

• Save the content of CloudFormation stack in a file named elysium-stack.yaml.
• Save the OpenAPI specification into a file named elysium-openapi-aws.yaml
• Create an S3 bucket or use one that already exists:

aws s3 mb s3://ovidiu-experiments

• Copy the OpenAPI AWS metadata file in the S3 bucket:

aws s3 cp ./elysium-openapi-aws.yaml s3://ovidiu-experiments

• Deploy the stack:

aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name elysium --template-body file://./elysium-stack.yaml

If everything goes as planned, a new API, API Deployment and "test" Stage will become available. The API can be tested with:

curl https://api-id.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/test/a
