I have a Visual Studio (C#) deployment package (.zip) that I have pushed up to my S3 storage.
I want to run my CloudFormation script and have it create an instance o
I havent tried it myself, but this post, on the AWS site, Using Amazon CloudFront with ASP.NET Apps maybe somewhere to start.
I have a template that does something similar to what you are looking for. Below is a template that I use. It may be more than you need, because it has an auto scaling group, but it will get you started. Basically, you need the IAM user to interact with cloud formation. The script in the UserData starts cf-init, which does the stuff in the metadata section.
