My first cloudformation custom resource

Requirements:

• Unix-based machine
• AWS account
• aws-cli installed on the machine
• IAM user with access to CloudFormation, IAM, Lambda, to create a cloudformation stack
• S3 bucket (should be at the same region as a lambda)

How to deploy:

1. clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/vadymbat/my_first_custom_resource \
&& cd my_first_custom_resource

2. Put your aws parameters to build.sh and deploy.sh
3. Run build.sh to build and upload zip for a lambda

bash build.sh

4. Run deploy.sh to create a cloudformation stack

bash deploy.sh

Also take a look at logs which lambda generated.
