Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to deploy Workload Discovery on AWS using CloudFormation:

1. Prepare for Deployment

Ensure you have the necessary permissions to create AWS resources
Review prerequisites, including AWS Config setup and IAM role requirements
Gather required information such as email addresses and VPC details

2. Access the AWS CloudFormation Console

Sign in to the AWS Management Console
Navigate to the CloudFormation service (https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/ )
Ensure you’re in your desired AWS region (the default is US East – N. Virginia)

3. Launch the CloudFormation Stack

Click on “Create stack” and choose “With new resources (standard)”
In the “Specify template” section, select “Amazon S3 URL”
You can find the template by visiting the AWS Solutions Library page for Workload Discovery on AWS
The template URL will be in the format: https://s3.amazonaws.com/solutions-reference/workload-discovery-on-aws/latest/workload-discovery-on-aws.template
Click “Next” to proceed

4. Configure Stack Details

Provide a unique name for your stack
Fill in the required parameters:
- Email addresses for notifications
- Instance types for various components
- CIDR ranges for network configuration
- Options for creating read replicas
- Options for using custom identity providers
Click “Next” to continue

5. Configure Stack Options

Add any tags to help organize and track your AWS resources
Set up any advanced options, such as stack policy or rollback configuration
Click “Next” to proceed to the review page

6. Review and Create Stack

Carefully review all the settings and parameters you’ve configured
At the bottom of the page, acknowledge that the template may create IAM resources
Click “Create stack” to begin the deployment process

7. Monitor Deployment Progress

Wait for the stack creation to complete (approximately 30 minutes)
Monitor the “Events” tab in the CloudFormation console for real-time updates
Once complete, you’ll see the status change to “CREATE_COMPLETE”

8. Access Workload Discovery

Once the stack creation is complete, go to the “Outputs” tab
Locate the “WebUiUrl” value, which is the URL for accessing the Workload Discovery web interface
Use this URL to access and begin using Workload Discovery on AWS

After deployment, you’ll be able to log in to the web interface and start generating architecture diagrams of your AWS resources automatically.
