CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

Usage instructions
Access the Cloud Security Connector configuration console via SSH to the first IP of the internal interface (eth1, labelled: csc-gre-single-internal-interface), using your SSH key and the user: "cscadmin". Example: ssh -i <yourkey.pem> cscadmin@<eth1 IP> . All Configuration and Monitoring tools are available via menu selection. Alternatively, if you deployed the CSC passing UserData values and registering the SSM Agent, you can check the status "Running Commands" from AWS Systems Manager.
