-### Lono Cfn Lifecycle Commands
+### Lono Cfn Deploy
-Lono provides a `lono cfn` lifecycle command that allows you to launch stacks quickly. The `lono cfn` tool automatically runs `lono generate` internally and then launches the CloudFormation stack all in one command. If you are in a lono project and have a `demo` lono blueprint. To create a stack you can simply run:

$ lono cfn deploy demo

-The above command will generate files to `output/infra/templates/demo.yml` and `output/infra/params/demo.txt` and use them to create a CloudFormation stack. Here are some more examples of cfn commands:
-
- lono cfn deploy demo # shorthand if blueprint, template and params file matches.
- lono cfn deploy demo-$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S) --blueprint demo --template demo --param demo
- lono cfn diff demo
- lono cfn preview demo
- lono cfn delete demo
- lono cfn deploy -h # getting help
