- create a stack from the template – see the Create Stack action of the AWS CloudFormation Stack task
- (optional) update the stack (with or without changes to the template)
- Directly – see the Update Stack action of the AWS CloudFormation Stack task
- Via change sets – see the Create Stack Change Set and Execute Stack Change Set actions of the AWS CloudFormation Stack task
