Find yourself creating the same AWS Cloudformation stack a lot during testing? Wasting too much time repeating typing in tags? A simple post today with a quick solution. Put your stack tags and parameters into json files and use this bash wrapper script to create the cloudformation stack. This script wraps the aws cloudformation create-stack command, but lets you create the stacks again and again with different names. The benefit is the parameters and tags are pre-defined.
