  2. On the Select Template page, choose Next.

  3. On the Specify Details page, choose a key pair for the EC2SSHKeyPairName.

    This key pair is required to access the EC2 instance. Ensure that you have the PEM file for the key pair that you choose.

  4. Choose Next.

  5. On the Options page, choose Next.

  6. On the Review page, select the first check box to acknowledge that Amazon CloudFormation will create IAM resources. Select the second check box to acknowledge CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND for the new stack.

    Note

    CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND explicitly acknowledges that macros will be expanded when creating the stack, without prior review. Users often create a change set from a processed template so that the changes made by macros can be reviewed before actually creating the stack. For more information, see the Amazon CloudFormation CreateStack API.

    Then choose Create.

Note

You can also use your Amazon CloudFormation template to upgrade your DB cluster's engine version.
