Stack creation failure - Failed to receive 1 resource signal(s) within the specified duration

I am trying to create a simple web deployment template which referencing resources from another template. Instance is created successfully but terminates with signal failure error. I am new to CloudFormation and seems kind of hit a roadblock here-

I am able to launch Linux EC2 instance, install httpd and create an index.html but code fails to execute the helper scripts it seems

I see a few problems.

The immediate problem is the typo in the AWS::CloudFormation::Init section, where you have Packages with a capital P whereas the docs indicate it should be packages all be in lower case. This is causing the httpd package to not be installed, which in turn leads to the error message you see when the services section tries to start httpd.

This then causes the UserData script to error out, and so the cfn-signal is not sent, and error message is seen:

Failed to receive 1 resource signal(s) within the specified duration

In addition, (and I mean in the second version of your template), there are other typos, where mode, owner and group are all incorrectly indented (one level too deep). This will result in all of that config being misinterpreted as part of the file content.

If you fix all that up, it should be fine.

First, I should mention that the template is WAY old. It is using AMIs from 2016 and all of those mappings can be replaced with a simple parameter based on Query for the latest Amazon Linux AMI IDs using AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store | AWS Compute Blog.

Anyway, the error you are receiving says that the startup script running on the EC2 instance failed to signal success.

The /var/log/cloud-init-output.log file on the EC2 instance says:

Error occurred during build: Could not enable service httpd (return code 1)

So, it seems have a problem with these configuration lines:

      services:
        sysvinit:
          httpd:
            enabled: 'true'
            ensureRunning: 'true'
