Prerequisites

• AWS Account

• PagerDuty account and API key

AWS Management Console

To get started:

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console with your account and navigate to CloudFormation.

2. Select "Public extensions" from the left hand pane and filter Publisher by "Third Party".

3. Use the search bar to filter by the "PagerDuty" prefix.

Note: All official PagerDuty resources begin with PagerDuty:: and specify that they are Published by PagerDuty.

4. Select the desired resource name to view more information about its schema, and click Activate.

5. On the Extension details page, specify:

• Extension name
• Execution role ARN
• Automatic updates for minor version releases
• Configuration

6. In your terminal, specify the configuration data for the registered PagerDuty CloudFormation resource type, in the given account and region by using the SetTypeConfiguration operation:

For example:

$ aws cloudformation set-type-configuration \
--region us-west-2 --type RESOURCE \
--type-name PagerDuty::Users::User \
--configuration-alias default \
--configuration "{ \"PagerDutyAccess\":{\"Token\":\"YOURAPIKEY\"}}"

7. After you have your resource configured, create your AWS stack that includes any of the activated PagerDuty resources.

For more information about available commands and workflows, see the official AWS documentation.
