The CloudFormation stack dashboard appears, where you can monitor the progress of the stack’s creation. It takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. Press the refresh button in the top right corner to view its progress.
Once the stack creation has completed, go to the outputs tab in the AWS console, and click the link.
