CloudFormation / Client / execute_change_set

execute_change_set#

CloudFormation.Client.execute_change_set(**kwargs)#

Updates a stack using the input information that was provided when the specified change set was created. After the call successfully completes, CloudFormation starts updating the stack. Use the DescribeStacks action to view the status of the update.

When you execute a change set, CloudFormation deletes all other change sets associated with the stack because they aren’t valid for the updated stack.

If a stack policy is associated with the stack, CloudFormation enforces the policy during the update. You can’t specify a temporary stack policy that overrides the current policy.

To create a change set for the entire stack hierarchy, IncludeNestedStacks must have been set to True.
