Here are the steps you need to follow to “Creating a manifest”

Creating the manifest file

Editing the manifest file

  • Write out the content of your manifest file. Here is an example snippet:
accounts:
  - account_id: "<YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID_WITHOUT_HYPHENS>"
    name: "puppet-account"
    default_region: "eu-west-1"
    regions_enabled:
      - "eu-west-1"
    tags:
      - "type:prod"
      - "partition:eu"
  
  • Please read through the docs to help you write out the full manifest file.

Committing the manifest file

Now that we have written the manifest file we are ready to commit it.

  • Set the File name to manifest.yaml

  • Set your Author name

  • Set your Email address
