Steps Using AWS CLI:

---

1). Running 1st Doc (“AWSDocs-InstallALAMPServer-AL2”)  :

# aws ssm start-automation-execution --document-name "AWSDocs-InstallALAMPServer-AL2" --document-version "\$DEFAULT" --region eu-west-1
{
    "AutomationExecutionId": "bd5xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

- Checking the Automation progress / Status:

# aws ssm get-automation-execution --automation-execution-id "bd5xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" --region eu-west-1 --output text --query "AutomationExecution.AutomationExecutionStatus"
InProgress

- Lets wait for few mins to get this completed and Can check the Status again:

# aws ssm get-automation-execution --automation-execution-id "bd56b3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" --region eu-west-1 --output text --query "AutomationExecution.AutomationExecutionStatus"
Success

- You can also check the CloudFormation Stack details/Status :

# aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name "LAMPStack-AL2" --region eu-west-1

- To define CloudFormation stack resources :

# aws cloudformation describe-stack-resources  --stack-name "LAMPStack-AL2" --region eu-west-1

We've confirmed the Execution Status - "Success" for first doc as well as CloudFormation stack status & resources, Now, we can proceed further for our next step..

2). Running  2nd Doc ( “AWSDocs-HostingAWordPressBlog-AL2”) :

# aws ssm start-automation-execution --document-name "AWSDocs-HostingAWordPressBlog-AL2" --document-version "\$DEFAULT" --region eu-west-1
{
    "AutomationExecutionId": "d61b49b7-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
