For Configure stack options we recommend configuring tags, which are key-value pairs, that can help you identify your stacks and the resources they create. For example, enter Owner in the left column which is the key, and your email address in the right column which is the value. We will not use additional permissions or advanced options so click Next. For more information, see Setting AWS CloudFormation Stack Options.
For Review
This will take you to the CloudFormation stack status page, showing the stack creation in progress.
When it shows status CREATE_COMPLETE, then you are finished with this step.
This template will take between 1-5 minutes to fully deploy.
