title: AWS RDS Cloud formation template for SQL Server
body: <p>I'm pretty new to using AWS stuff. I wanted to take a snapshot of the current SQL Server instance and create another instance with the same snapshot (so that all the existing databases and data gets migrated) and more storage capacity using AWS Cloud Formation.</p>
  
  <p>I saw something on Amazon like <a href="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cloudformation-templates-us-west-2/RDS_MySQL_With_Read_Replica.template" rel="nofollow">https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cloudformation-templates-us-west-2/RDS_MySQL_With_Read_Replica.template</a></p>
  
  <p>but couldn't tailor it to my needs. I don't want all that EC2 instance and extra things. Just my existing snapshot ID and the new SQL Server RDS instance details which will be cloned with the Snapshot ID</p>
