Smoke tests

Create a "non working" ASG stack (use your own default VPC ID and Subnet IDs)

aws cloudformation deploy \
                     --template-file broken_asg.yaml \
                     --stack-name broken \
                     --parameter-overrides VpcId=vpc-12345678\
                     SubnetIds=subnet-123,subnet-456,subnet-789,subnet-012,subnet-345,subnet-678

Obtain ELB URL

aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name broken | jq .[][].Outputs[].OutputValue

Run the test

python asg_test.py broken

Apply the "fix" on the stack

aws cloudformation deploy \
                     --template-file working_asg.yaml \
                     --stack-name broken \
                     --parameter-overrides VpcId=vpc-12345678\
                     SubnetIds=subnet-123,subnet-456,subnet-789,subnet-012,subnet-345,subnet-678

Run the test again

Create a "non compliant" Core stack

aws cloudformation deploy --stack-name core --template-file core_non_compliant.yaml --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM

Run testing:

python core_subnets.py core

Deploy a fix:

aws cloudformation deploy --stack-name core --template-file core_compliant.yaml --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM

Run the test again.

Continuous Delivery

Deploy the CI/CD stack

aws cloudformation deploy \
                   --stack-name cicd \
                   --template-file cicd.yaml \
                   --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM

From the AWS Console add all the necessary files to the repository. Add buildspec.yml last to avoid tmp stacks conflict. If you had several failures (you definitely had) rerun the pipeline or retry it from the last failed stage.
