Secondary Region
Creating the Default VPC Parameter
The secondary region CloudFormation Template is utilizing the default VPC. We need to create a parameter with that default VPC ID before we deploy the CloudFormation template.
1.1 Click AWS Cloudshell to navigate to the dashboard in the N. Virginia (us-east-1) region.
1.2 If you have never used CloudShell you will be prompted with a Welcome to AWS CloudShell message, click the Close button.
1.3 Once you see the prompt, paste the following AWS CLI commands. You will be prompted with a Safe Paste for multiline text message, click the Paste button.
export DEFAULT_VPC=$(aws ec2 describe-vpcs --filters Name=isDefault,Values=true --query "Vpcs[].VpcId" --region us-west-1 --output text)
aws ssm put-parameter --name "/deployer/backupandrestore-secondary/default-vpc" --value $DEFAULT_VPC --type "String" --overwrite --region us-west-1
