describe_stacks

OpsWorks.Client.describe_stacks(**kwargs)

Requests a description of one or more stacks.

Required Permissions: To use this action, an IAM user must have a Show, Deploy, or Manage permissions level for the stack, or an attached policy that explicitly grants permissions. For more information about user permissions, see Managing User Permissions.

Request Syntax

response = client.describe_stacks(
    StackIds=[
        'string',
    ]
)

Parameters:

StackIds (list) –

An array of stack IDs that specify the stacks to be described. If you omit this parameter, and have permissions to get information about all stacks, DescribeStacks returns a description of every stack. If the IAM policy that is attached to an IAM user limits the DescribeStacks action to specific stack ARNs, this parameter is required, and the user must specify a stack ARN that is allowed by the policy. Otherwise, DescribeStacks returns an AccessDenied error.

• (string) –

Return type:

dict
