QUESTION

Is the CloudFormation template just to set up the Nuon runner, or does it also set up part of our application?

ANSWER

It's configurable — you decide where the boundary is. By default it sets up the runner, but you can move parts of your app (like a quarantine VPC) into the stack if you want the customer to own those resources or don't want Nuon to have permission to create them.

Out-of-the-box, Nuon's provided templates create a VPC, subnets, IAM roles and permissions for the runner, an ASG, EC2, a Docker service running the runner.
