Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    The output for a DescribeStackResource action.

    • StackResourceDetail (dict) --

      A StackResourceDetail structure containing the description of the specified resource in the specified stack.

      • StackName (string) --

        The name associated with the stack.

      • StackId (string) --

        Unique identifier of the stack.

      • LogicalResourceId (string) --

        The logical name of the resource specified in the template.

      • PhysicalResourceId (string) --

        The name or unique identifier that corresponds to a physical instance ID of a resource supported by CloudFormation.

      • ResourceType (string) --

        Type of resource. For more information, go to Amazon Web Services Resource Types Reference in the CloudFormation User Guide.

      • LastUpdatedTimestamp (datetime) --

        Time the status was updated.

      • ResourceStatus (string) --

        Current status of the resource.

      • ResourceStatusReason (string) --

        Success/failure message associated with the resource.

      • Description (string) --

        User defined description associated with the resource.

      • Metadata (string) --

        The content of the Metadata attribute declared for the resource. For more information, see Metadata Attribute in the CloudFormation User Guide.

      • DriftInformation (dict) --

        Information about whether the resource's actual configuration differs, or has drifted , from its expected configuration, as defined in the stack template and any values specified as template parameters. For more information, see Detecting Unregulated Configuration Changes to Stacks and Resources.

        • StackResourceDriftStatus (string) --

          Status of the resource's actual configuration compared to its expected configuration

          • DELETED : The resource differs from its expected configuration in that it has been deleted.
          • MODIFIED : The resource differs from its expected configuration.
          • NOT_CHECKED : CloudFormation has not checked if the resource differs from its expected configuration. Any resources that do not currently support drift detection have a status of NOT_CHECKED . For more information, see Resources that Support Drift Detection.
          • IN_SYNC : The resource's actual configuration matches its expected configuration.
        • LastCheckTimestamp (datetime) --

          When CloudFormation last checked if the resource had drifted from its expected configuration.

      • ModuleInfo (dict) --

        Contains information about the module from which the resource was created, if the resource was created from a module included in the stack template.

        • TypeHierarchy (string) --

          A concatenated list of the module type or types containing the resource. Module types are listed starting with the inner-most nested module, and separated by / .

          In the following example, the resource was created from a module of type AWS::First::Example::MODULE , that's nested inside a parent module of type AWS::Second::Example::MODULE .

          AWS::First::Example::MODULE/AWS::Second::Example::MODULE

        • LogicalIdHierarchy (string) --

          A concatenated list of the logical IDs of the module or modules containing the resource. Modules are listed starting with the inner-most nested module, and separated by / .

          In the following example, the resource was created from a module, moduleA , that's nested inside a parent module, moduleB .

          moduleA/moduleB
