Game On-Demand: Unlocking Cost-Efficient Cloud Gaming with Amazon EC2's Pay-as-You-Go Model using Steam implementation problem - elastic ip

Hello.

After reading the GitHub README, it seems like you need to create a stack instead of importing.
Could you please provide a bit more detail on what you did?
https://github.com/aws-samples/cloud-gaming-on-ec2-using-steam/tree/main#:~:text=protect%20your%20server.-,Deploy%20the%20AWS%20CloudFormation%20template,-Save%20the%20following

To follow the instructions in the README, select "With new resource (standard)" on the CloudFormation screen.

It appears you're encountering an issue while trying to import the CloudFormation template for the Game On-Demand solution using Amazon EC2 and Steam. The error message suggests that the template you're using doesn't contain a logical resource with the ID "elasticIP".

This could be due to a few reasons:

1. The template you're using might be an older or different version than the one referenced in the blog post or GitHub repository.

2. There might have been recent changes to the template that removed or renamed the elasticIP resource.

3. The elasticIP resource might be defined in a nested stack or a separate template that's not being imported correctly.

To resolve this issue, you could try the following steps:

1. Double-check that you're using the most recent version of the template from the GitHub repository.

2. Review the template carefully to see if there's a resource that corresponds to an Elastic IP, but with a different logical ID.

3. If you're sure the elasticIP resource should be there, you might want to reach out to the repository maintainers or AWS support for clarification.

4. As a workaround, you could consider modifying the template to add an Elastic IP resource if it's required for your implementation.

Remember, when working with CloudFormation templates, it's important to ensure you're using the correct and most up-to-date version, as resources and their identifiers can change between versions.
