CloudFormation

Client

class CloudFormation.Client

A low-level client representing AWS CloudFormation:

import boto3

client = boto3.client('cloudformation')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
cancel_update_stack(**kwargs)

Cancels an update on the specified stack. If the call completes successfully, the stack rolls back the update and reverts to the previous stack configuration.

Note

You can cancel only stacks that are in the UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS state.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.cancel_update_stack(
    StackName='string',
    ClientRequestToken='string'
)
Parameters
  • StackName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name or the unique stack ID that is associated with the stack.

  • ClientRequestToken (string) -- A unique identifier for this CancelUpdateStack request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that AWS CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to cancel an update on a stack with the same name. You might retry CancelUpdateStack requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.
Returns

None

Examples

This example cancels an update of the specified stack.

response = client.cancel_update_stack(
    StackName='MyStack',
)

print(response)

Expected Output:

{
    'ResponseMetadata': {
        '...': '...',
    },
}
continue_update_rollback(**kwargs)

For a specified stack that is in the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED state, continues rolling it back to the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state. Depending on the cause of the failure, you can manually fix the error and continue the rollback. By continuing the rollback, you can return your stack to a working state (the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state), and then try to update the stack again.

A stack goes into the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED state when AWS CloudFormation cannot roll back all changes after a failed stack update. For example, you might have a stack that is rolling back to an old database instance that was deleted outside of AWS CloudFormation. Because AWS CloudFormation doesn't know the database was deleted, it assumes that the database instance still exists and attempts to roll back to it, causing the update rollback to fail.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.continue_update_rollback(
    StackName='string',
    RoleARN='string',
    ResourcesToSkip=[
        'string',
    ],
    ClientRequestToken='string'
)
Parameters
  • StackName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name or the unique ID of the stack that you want to continue rolling back.

    Note

    Don't specify the name of a nested stack (a stack that was created by using the AWS::CloudFormation::Stack resource). Instead, use this operation on the parent stack (the stack that contains the AWS::CloudFormation::Stack resource).

  • RoleARN (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that AWS CloudFormation assumes to roll back the stack. AWS CloudFormation uses the role's credentials to make calls on your behalf. AWS CloudFormation always uses this role for all future operations on the stack. As long as users have permission to operate on the stack, AWS CloudFormation uses this role even if the users don't have permission to pass it. Ensure that the role grants least privilege.

    If you don't specify a value, AWS CloudFormation uses the role that was previously associated with the stack. If no role is available, AWS CloudFormation uses a temporary session that is generated from your user credentials.

  • ResourcesToSkip (list) --

    A list of the logical IDs of the resources that AWS CloudFormation skips during the continue update rollback operation. You can specify only resources that are in the UPDATE_FAILED state because a rollback failed. You can't specify resources that are in the UPDATE_FAILED state for other reasons, for example, because an update was cancelled. To check why a resource update failed, use the DescribeStackResources action, and view the resource status reason.

    Warning

    Specify this property to skip rolling back resources that AWS CloudFormation can't successfully roll back. We recommend that you troubleshoot resources before skipping them. AWS CloudFormation sets the status of the specified resources to UPDATE_COMPLETE and continues to roll back the stack. After the rollback is complete, the state of the skipped resources will be inconsistent with the state of the resources in the stack template. Before performing another stack update, you must update the stack or resources to be consistent with each other. If you don't, subsequent stack updates might fail, and the stack will become unrecoverable.

    Specify the minimum number of resources required to successfully roll back your stack. For example, a failed resource update might cause dependent resources to fail. In this case, it might not be necessary to skip the dependent resources.

    To skip resources that are part of nested stacks, use the following format: NestedStackName.ResourceLogicalID . If you want to specify the logical ID of a stack resource (Type: AWS::CloudFormation::Stack ) in the ResourcesToSkip list, then its corresponding embedded stack must be in one of the following states: DELETE_IN_PROGRESS , DELETE_COMPLETE , or DELETE_FAILED .

    Note

    Don't confuse a child stack's name with its corresponding logical ID defined in the parent stack. For an example of a continue update rollback operation with nested stacks, see Using ResourcesToSkip to recover a nested stacks hierarchy .

    • (string) --
  • ClientRequestToken (string) -- A unique identifier for this ContinueUpdateRollback request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that AWS CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to continue the rollback to a stack with the same name. You might retry ContinueUpdateRollback requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    The output for a ContinueUpdateRollback action.

create_change_set(**kwargs)

Creates a list of changes that will be applied to a stack so that you can review the changes before executing them. You can create a change set for a stack that doesn't exist or an existing stack. If you create a change set for a stack that doesn't exist, the change set shows all of the resources that AWS CloudFormation will create. If you create a change set for an existing stack, AWS CloudFormation compares the stack's information with the information that you submit in the change set and lists the differences. Use change sets to understand which resources AWS CloudFormation will create or change, and how it will change resources in an existing stack, before you create or update a stack.

To create a change set for a stack that doesn't exist, for the ChangeSetType parameter, specify CREATE . To create a change set for an existing stack, specify UPDATE for the ChangeSetType parameter. After the CreateChangeSet call successfully completes, AWS CloudFormation starts creating the change set. To check the status of the change set or to review it, use the DescribeChangeSet action.

When you are satisfied with the changes the change set will make, execute the change set by using the ExecuteChangeSet action. AWS CloudFormation doesn't make changes until you execute the change set.

Parameters
  • StackName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name or the unique ID of the stack for which you are creating a change set. AWS CloudFormation generates the change set by comparing this stack's information with the information that you submit, such as a modified template or different parameter input values.

  • TemplateBody (string) --

    A structure that contains the body of the revised template, with a minimum length of 1 byte and a maximum length of 51,200 bytes. AWS CloudFormation generates the change set by comparing this template with the template of the stack that you specified.

    Conditional: You must specify only TemplateBody or TemplateURL .

  • TemplateURL (string) --

    The location of the file that contains the revised template. The URL must point to a template (max size: 460,800 bytes) that is located in an S3 bucket. AWS CloudFormation generates the change set by comparing this template with the stack that you specified.

    Conditional: You must specify only TemplateBody or TemplateURL .

  • UsePreviousTemplate (boolean) -- Whether to reuse the template that is associated with the stack to create the change set.
  • Parameters (list) --

    A list of Parameter structures that specify input parameters for the change set. For more information, see the Parameter data type.

    • (dict) --

      The Parameter data type.

      • ParameterKey (string) --

        The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

      • ParameterValue (string) --

        The input value associated with the parameter.

      • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

        During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

      • ResolvedValue (string) --

        Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

  • Capabilities (list) --

    In some cases, you must explicity acknowledge that your stack template contains certain capabilities in order for AWS CloudFormation to create the stack.

    • CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM Some stack templates might include resources that can affect permissions in your AWS account; for example, by creating new AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users. For those stacks, you must explicitly acknowledge this by specifying one of these capabilities. The following IAM resources require you to specify either the CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability.
      • If you have IAM resources, you can specify either capability.
      • If you have IAM resources with custom names, you must specify CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM .
      • If you don't specify either of these capabilities, AWS CloudFormation returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

    If your stack template contains these resources, we recommend that you review all permissions associated with them and edit their permissions if necessary.

    For more information, see Acknowledging IAM Resources in AWS CloudFormation Templates .

    • CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND Some template contain macros. Macros perform custom processing on templates; this can include simple actions like find-and-replace operations, all the way to extensive transformations of entire templates. Because of this, users typically create a change set from the processed template, so that they can review the changes resulting from the macros before actually creating the stack. If your stack template contains one or more macros, and you choose to create a stack directly from the processed template, without first reviewing the resulting changes in a change set, you must acknowledge this capability. This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by AWS CloudFormation.

    Note

    This capacity does not apply to creating change sets, and specifying it when creating change sets has no effect. Also, change sets do not currently support nested stacks. If you want to create a stack from a stack template that contains macros and nested stacks, you must create or update the stack directly from the template using the CreateStack or UpdateStack action, and specifying this capability.

    For more information on macros, see Using AWS CloudFormation Macros to Perform Custom Processing on Templates .

    • (string) --
  • ResourceTypes (list) --

    The template resource types that you have permissions to work with if you execute this change set, such as AWS::EC2::Instance , AWS::EC2::* , or Custom::MyCustomInstance .

    If the list of resource types doesn't include a resource type that you're updating, the stack update fails. By default, AWS CloudFormation grants permissions to all resource types. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) uses this parameter for condition keys in IAM policies for AWS CloudFormation. For more information, see Controlling Access with AWS Identity and Access Management in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

    • (string) --
  • RoleARN (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that AWS CloudFormation assumes when executing the change set. AWS CloudFormation uses the role's credentials to make calls on your behalf. AWS CloudFormation uses this role for all future operations on the stack. As long as users have permission to operate on the stack, AWS CloudFormation uses this role even if the users don't have permission to pass it. Ensure that the role grants least privilege.

    If you don't specify a value, AWS CloudFormation uses the role that was previously associated with the stack. If no role is available, AWS CloudFormation uses a temporary session that is generated from your user credentials.

  • RollbackConfiguration (dict) --

    The rollback triggers for AWS CloudFormation to monitor during stack creation and updating operations, and for the specified monitoring period afterwards.

    • RollbackTriggers (list) --

      The triggers to monitor during stack creation or update actions.

      By default, AWS CloudFormation saves the rollback triggers specified for a stack and applies them to any subsequent update operations for the stack, unless you specify otherwise. If you do specify rollback triggers for this parameter, those triggers replace any list of triggers previously specified for the stack. This means:

      • To use the rollback triggers previously specified for this stack, if any, don't specify this parameter.
      • To specify new or updated rollback triggers, you must specify all the triggers that you want used for this stack, even triggers you've specifed before (for example, when creating the stack or during a previous stack update). Any triggers that you don't include in the updated list of triggers are no longer applied to the stack.
      • To remove all currently specified triggers, specify an empty list for this parameter.

      If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

      • (dict) --

        A rollback trigger AWS CloudFormation monitors during creation and updating of stacks. If any of the alarms you specify goes to ALARM state during the stack operation or within the specified monitoring period afterwards, CloudFormation rolls back the entire stack operation.

        • Arn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rollback trigger.

          If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

        • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The resource type of the rollback trigger. Currently, AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm is the only supported resource type.

    • MonitoringTimeInMinutes (integer) --

      The amount of time, in minutes, during which CloudFormation should monitor all the rollback triggers after the stack creation or update operation deploys all necessary resources.

      The default is 0 minutes.

      If you specify a monitoring period but do not specify any rollback triggers, CloudFormation still waits the specified period of time before cleaning up old resources after update operations. You can use this monitoring period to perform any manual stack validation desired, and manually cancel the stack creation or update (using CancelUpdateStack , for example) as necessary.

      If you specify 0 for this parameter, CloudFormation still monitors the specified rollback triggers during stack creation and update operations. Then, for update operations, it begins disposing of old resources immediately once the operation completes.

  • NotificationARNs (list) --

    The Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topics that AWS CloudFormation associates with the stack. To remove all associated notification topics, specify an empty list.

    • (string) --
  • Tags (list) --

    Key-value pairs to associate with this stack. AWS CloudFormation also propagates these tags to resources in the stack. You can specify a maximum of 50 tags.

    • (dict) --

      The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .
      • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.
  • ChangeSetName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the change set. The name must be unique among all change sets that are associated with the specified stack.

    A change set name can contain only alphanumeric, case sensitive characters and hyphens. It must start with an alphabetic character and cannot exceed 128 characters.

  • ClientToken (string) -- A unique identifier for this CreateChangeSet request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that AWS CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to create another change set with the same name. You might retry CreateChangeSet requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.
  • Description (string) -- A description to help you identify this change set.
  • ChangeSetType (string) --

    The type of change set operation. To create a change set for a new stack, specify CREATE . To create a change set for an existing stack, specify UPDATE .

    If you create a change set for a new stack, AWS Cloudformation creates a stack with a unique stack ID, but no template or resources. The stack will be in the ` REVIEW_IN_PROGRESS https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-describing-stacks.html#d0e11995`__ state until you execute the change set.

    By default, AWS CloudFormation specifies UPDATE . You can't use the UPDATE type to create a change set for a new stack or the CREATE type to create a change set for an existing stack.

Parameters
  • StackName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name that is associated with the stack. The name must be unique in the region in which you are creating the stack.

    Note

    A stack name can contain only alphanumeric characters (case sensitive) and hyphens. It must start with an alphabetic character and cannot be longer than 128 characters.

  • TemplateBody (string) --

    Structure containing the template body with a minimum length of 1 byte and a maximum length of 51,200 bytes. For more information, go to Template Anatomy in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

    Conditional: You must specify either the TemplateBody or the TemplateURL parameter, but not both.

  • TemplateURL (string) --

    Location of file containing the template body. The URL must point to a template (max size: 460,800 bytes) that is located in an Amazon S3 bucket. For more information, go to the Template Anatomy in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

  • Parameters (list) --

    A list of Parameter structures that specify input parameters for the stack. For more information, see the Parameter data type.

    • (dict) --

      The Parameter data type.

      • ParameterKey (string) --

        The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

      • ParameterValue (string) --

        The input value associated with the parameter.

      • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

        During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

      • ResolvedValue (string) --

        Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

  • DisableRollback (boolean) --

    Set to true to disable rollback of the stack if stack creation failed. You can specify either DisableRollback or OnFailure , but not both.

    Default: false

  • RollbackConfiguration (dict) --

    The rollback triggers for AWS CloudFormation to monitor during stack creation and updating operations, and for the specified monitoring period afterwards.

    • RollbackTriggers (list) --

      The triggers to monitor during stack creation or update actions.

      By default, AWS CloudFormation saves the rollback triggers specified for a stack and applies them to any subsequent update operations for the stack, unless you specify otherwise. If you do specify rollback triggers for this parameter, those triggers replace any list of triggers previously specified for the stack. This means:

      • To use the rollback triggers previously specified for this stack, if any, don't specify this parameter.
      • To specify new or updated rollback triggers, you must specify all the triggers that you want used for this stack, even triggers you've specifed before (for example, when creating the stack or during a previous stack update). Any triggers that you don't include in the updated list of triggers are no longer applied to the stack.
      • To remove all currently specified triggers, specify an empty list for this parameter.

      If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

      • (dict) --

        A rollback trigger AWS CloudFormation monitors during creation and updating of stacks. If any of the alarms you specify goes to ALARM state during the stack operation or within the specified monitoring period afterwards, CloudFormation rolls back the entire stack operation.

        • Arn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rollback trigger.

          If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

        • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The resource type of the rollback trigger. Currently, AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm is the only supported resource type.

    • MonitoringTimeInMinutes (integer) --

      The amount of time, in minutes, during which CloudFormation should monitor all the rollback triggers after the stack creation or update operation deploys all necessary resources.

      The default is 0 minutes.

      If you specify a monitoring period but do not specify any rollback triggers, CloudFormation still waits the specified period of time before cleaning up old resources after update operations. You can use this monitoring period to perform any manual stack validation desired, and manually cancel the stack creation or update (using CancelUpdateStack , for example) as necessary.

      If you specify 0 for this parameter, CloudFormation still monitors the specified rollback triggers during stack creation and update operations. Then, for update operations, it begins disposing of old resources immediately once the operation completes.

  • TimeoutInMinutes (integer) -- The amount of time that can pass before the stack status becomes CREATE_FAILED; if DisableRollback is not set or is set to false , the stack will be rolled back.
  • NotificationARNs (list) --

    The Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic ARNs to publish stack related events. You can find your SNS topic ARNs using the SNS console or your Command Line Interface (CLI).

    • (string) --
  • Capabilities (list) --

    In some cases, you must explicity acknowledge that your stack template contains certain capabilities in order for AWS CloudFormation to create the stack.

    • CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM Some stack templates might include resources that can affect permissions in your AWS account; for example, by creating new AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users. For those stacks, you must explicitly acknowledge this by specifying one of these capabilities. The following IAM resources require you to specify either the CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability.
      • If you have IAM resources, you can specify either capability.
      • If you have IAM resources with custom names, you must specify CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM .
      • If you don't specify either of these capabilities, AWS CloudFormation returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

    If your stack template contains these resources, we recommend that you review all permissions associated with them and edit their permissions if necessary.

    For more information, see Acknowledging IAM Resources in AWS CloudFormation Templates .

    • CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND Some template contain macros. Macros perform custom processing on templates; this can include simple actions like find-and-replace operations, all the way to extensive transformations of entire templates. Because of this, users typically create a change set from the processed template, so that they can review the changes resulting from the macros before actually creating the stack. If your stack template contains one or more macros, and you choose to create a stack directly from the processed template, without first reviewing the resulting changes in a change set, you must acknowledge this capability. This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by AWS CloudFormation. Change sets do not currently support nested stacks. If you want to create a stack from a stack template that contains macros and nested stacks, you must create the stack directly from the template using this capability.

    Warning

    You should only create stacks directly from a stack template that contains macros if you know what processing the macro performs. Each macro relies on an underlying Lambda service function for processing stack templates. Be aware that the Lambda function owner can update the function operation without AWS CloudFormation being notified.

    For more information, see Using AWS CloudFormation Macros to Perform Custom Processing on Templates .

    • (string) --
  • ResourceTypes (list) --

    The template resource types that you have permissions to work with for this create stack action, such as AWS::EC2::Instance , AWS::EC2::* , or Custom::MyCustomInstance . Use the following syntax to describe template resource types: AWS::* (for all AWS resource), Custom::* (for all custom resources), Custom::*logical_ID* `` (for a specific custom resource), ``AWS::*service_name* ::* (for all resources of a particular AWS service), and ``AWS::service_name ::resource_logical_ID `` (for a specific AWS resource).

    If the list of resource types doesn't include a resource that you're creating, the stack creation fails. By default, AWS CloudFormation grants permissions to all resource types. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) uses this parameter for AWS CloudFormation-specific condition keys in IAM policies. For more information, see Controlling Access with AWS Identity and Access Management .

    • (string) --
  • RoleARN (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that AWS CloudFormation assumes to create the stack. AWS CloudFormation uses the role's credentials to make calls on your behalf. AWS CloudFormation always uses this role for all future operations on the stack. As long as users have permission to operate on the stack, AWS CloudFormation uses this role even if the users don't have permission to pass it. Ensure that the role grants least privilege.

    If you don't specify a value, AWS CloudFormation uses the role that was previously associated with the stack. If no role is available, AWS CloudFormation uses a temporary session that is generated from your user credentials.

  • OnFailure (string) --

    Determines what action will be taken if stack creation fails. This must be one of: DO_NOTHING, ROLLBACK, or DELETE. You can specify either OnFailure or DisableRollback , but not both.

    Default: ROLLBACK

  • StackPolicyBody (string) -- Structure containing the stack policy body. For more information, go to Prevent Updates to Stack Resources in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide . You can specify either the StackPolicyBody or the StackPolicyURL parameter, but not both.
  • StackPolicyURL (string) -- Location of a file containing the stack policy. The URL must point to a policy (maximum size: 16 KB) located in an S3 bucket in the same region as the stack. You can specify either the StackPolicyBody or the StackPolicyURL parameter, but not both.
  • Tags (list) --

    Key-value pairs to associate with this stack. AWS CloudFormation also propagates these tags to the resources created in the stack. A maximum number of 50 tags can be specified.

    • (dict) --

      The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .
      • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.
  • ClientRequestToken (string) --

    A unique identifier for this CreateStack request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that AWS CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to create a stack with the same name. You might retry CreateStack requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

    All events triggered by a given stack operation are assigned the same client request token, which you can use to track operations. For example, if you execute a CreateStack operation with the token token1 , then all the StackEvents generated by that operation will have ClientRequestToken set as token1 .

    In the console, stack operations display the client request token on the Events tab. Stack operations that are initiated from the console use the token format Console-StackOperation-ID , which helps you easily identify the stack operation . For example, if you create a stack using the console, each stack event would be assigned the same token in the following format: Console-CreateStack-7f59c3cf-00d2-40c7-b2ff-e75db0987002 .

  • EnableTerminationProtection (boolean) --

    Whether to enable termination protection on the specified stack. If a user attempts to delete a stack with termination protection enabled, the operation fails and the stack remains unchanged. For more information, see Protecting a Stack From Being Deleted in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide . Termination protection is disabled on stacks by default.

    For nested stacks , termination protection is set on the root stack and cannot be changed directly on the nested stack.

Parameters
  • StackSetName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name or unique ID of the stack set that you want to create stack instances from.

  • Accounts (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The names of one or more AWS accounts that you want to create stack instances in the specified region(s) for.

    • (string) --
  • Regions (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The names of one or more regions where you want to create stack instances using the specified AWS account(s).

    • (string) --
  • ParameterOverrides (list) --

    A list of stack set parameters whose values you want to override in the selected stack instances.

    Any overridden parameter values will be applied to all stack instances in the specified accounts and regions. When specifying parameters and their values, be aware of how AWS CloudFormation sets parameter values during stack instance operations:

    • To override the current value for a parameter, include the parameter and specify its value.
    • To leave a parameter set to its present value, you can do one of the following:
      • Do not include the parameter in the list.
      • Include the parameter and specify UsePreviousValue as true . (You cannot specify both a value and set UsePreviousValue to true .)
    • To set all overridden parameter back to the values specified in the stack set, specify a parameter list but do not include any parameters.
    • To leave all parameters set to their present values, do not specify this property at all.

    During stack set updates, any parameter values overridden for a stack instance are not updated, but retain their overridden value.

    You can only override the parameter values that are specified in the stack set; to add or delete a parameter itself, use UpdateStackSet to update the stack set template.

    • (dict) --

      The Parameter data type.

      • ParameterKey (string) --

        The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

      • ParameterValue (string) --

        The input value associated with the parameter.

      • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

        During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

      • ResolvedValue (string) --

        Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

  • OperationPreferences (dict) --

    Preferences for how AWS CloudFormation performs this stack set operation.

    • RegionOrder (list) --

      The order of the regions in where you want to perform the stack operation.

      • (string) --
    • FailureToleranceCount (integer) --

      The number of accounts, per region, for which this operation can fail before AWS CloudFormation stops the operation in that region. If the operation is stopped in a region, AWS CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent regions.

      Conditional: You must specify either FailureToleranceCount or FailureTolerancePercentage (but not both).

    • FailureTolerancePercentage (integer) --

      The percentage of accounts, per region, for which this stack operation can fail before AWS CloudFormation stops the operation in that region. If the operation is stopped in a region, AWS CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent regions.

      When calculating the number of accounts based on the specified percentage, AWS CloudFormation rounds down to the next whole number.

      Conditional: You must specify either FailureToleranceCount or FailureTolerancePercentage , but not both.

    • MaxConcurrentCount (integer) --

      The maximum number of accounts in which to perform this operation at one time. This is dependent on the value of FailureToleranceCountMaxConcurrentCount is at most one more than the FailureToleranceCount .

      Note that this setting lets you specify the maximum for operations. For large deployments, under certain circumstances the actual number of accounts acted upon concurrently may be lower due to service throttling.

      Conditional: You must specify either MaxConcurrentCount or MaxConcurrentPercentage , but not both.

    • MaxConcurrentPercentage (integer) --

      The maximum percentage of accounts in which to perform this operation at one time.

      When calculating the number of accounts based on the specified percentage, AWS CloudFormation rounds down to the next whole number. This is true except in cases where rounding down would result is zero. In this case, CloudFormation sets the number as one instead.

      Note that this setting lets you specify the maximum for operations. For large deployments, under certain circumstances the actual number of accounts acted upon concurrently may be lower due to service throttling.

      Conditional: You must specify either MaxConcurrentCount or MaxConcurrentPercentage , but not both.

  • OperationId (string) --

    The unique identifier for this stack set operation.

    The operation ID also functions as an idempotency token, to ensure that AWS CloudFormation performs the stack set operation only once, even if you retry the request multiple times. You might retry stack set operation requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

    If you don't specify an operation ID, the SDK generates one automatically.

    Repeating this stack set operation with a new operation ID retries all stack instances whose status is OUTDATED .

Parameters
  • StackSetName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name to associate with the stack set. The name must be unique in the region where you create your stack set.

    Note

    A stack name can contain only alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive) and hyphens. It must start with an alphabetic character and can't be longer than 128 characters.

  • Description (string) -- A description of the stack set. You can use the description to identify the stack set's purpose or other important information.
  • TemplateBody (string) --

    The structure that contains the template body, with a minimum length of 1 byte and a maximum length of 51,200 bytes. For more information, see Template Anatomy in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

    Conditional: You must specify either the TemplateBody or the TemplateURL parameter, but not both.

  • TemplateURL (string) --

    The location of the file that contains the template body. The URL must point to a template (maximum size: 460,800 bytes) that's located in an Amazon S3 bucket. For more information, see Template Anatomy in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

    Conditional: You must specify either the TemplateBody or the TemplateURL parameter, but not both.

  • Parameters (list) --

    The input parameters for the stack set template.

    • (dict) --

      The Parameter data type.

      • ParameterKey (string) --

        The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

      • ParameterValue (string) --

        The input value associated with the parameter.

      • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

        During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

      • ResolvedValue (string) --

        Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

  • Capabilities (list) --

    In some cases, you must explicity acknowledge that your stack set template contains certain capabilities in order for AWS CloudFormation to create the stack set and related stack instances.

    • CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM Some stack templates might include resources that can affect permissions in your AWS account; for example, by creating new AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users. For those stack sets, you must explicitly acknowledge this by specifying one of these capabilities. The following IAM resources require you to specify either the CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability.
      • If you have IAM resources, you can specify either capability.
      • If you have IAM resources with custom names, you must specify CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM .
      • If you don't specify either of these capabilities, AWS CloudFormation returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

    If your stack template contains these resources, we recommend that you review all permissions associated with them and edit their permissions if necessary.

    For more information, see Acknowledging IAM Resources in AWS CloudFormation Templates .

    • CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND Some templates contain macros. If your stack template contains one or more macros, and you choose to create a stack directly from the processed template, without first reviewing the resulting changes in a change set, you must acknowledge this capability. For more information, see Using AWS CloudFormation Macros to Perform Custom Processing on Templates .

    Note

    Stack sets do not currently support macros in stack templates. (This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by AWS CloudFormation.) Even if you specify this capability, if you include a macro in your template the stack set operation will fail.

    • (string) --
  • Tags (list) --

    The key-value pairs to associate with this stack set and the stacks created from it. AWS CloudFormation also propagates these tags to supported resources that are created in the stacks. A maximum number of 50 tags can be specified.

    If you specify tags as part of a CreateStackSet action, AWS CloudFormation checks to see if you have the required IAM permission to tag resources. If you don't, the entire CreateStackSet action fails with an access denied error, and the stack set is not created.

    • (dict) --

      The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .
      • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.
  • AdministrationRoleARN (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the IAM role to use to create this stack set.

    Specify an IAM role only if you are using customized administrator roles to control which users or groups can manage specific stack sets within the same administrator account. For more information, see Prerequisites: Granting Permissions for Stack Set Operations in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

  • ExecutionRoleName (string) --

    The name of the IAM execution role to use to create the stack set. If you do not specify an execution role, AWS CloudFormation uses the AWSCloudFormationStackSetExecutionRole role for the stack set operation.

    Specify an IAM role only if you are using customized execution roles to control which stack resources users and groups can include in their stack sets.

  • ClientRequestToken (string) --

    A unique identifier for this CreateStackSet request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that AWS CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to create another stack set with the same name. You might retry CreateStackSet requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

    If you don't specify an operation ID, the SDK generates one automatically.

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.

delete_stack(**kwargs)

Deletes a specified stack. Once the call completes successfully, stack deletion starts. Deleted stacks do not show up in the DescribeStacks API if the deletion has been completed successfully.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_stack(
    StackName='string',
    RetainResources=[
        'string',
    ],
    RoleARN='string',
    ClientRequestToken='string'
)
Parameters
  • StackName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name or the unique stack ID that is associated with the stack.

  • RetainResources (list) --

    For stacks in the DELETE_FAILED state, a list of resource logical IDs that are associated with the resources you want to retain. During deletion, AWS CloudFormation deletes the stack but does not delete the retained resources.

    Retaining resources is useful when you cannot delete a resource, such as a non-empty S3 bucket, but you want to delete the stack.

    • (string) --
  • RoleARN (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that AWS CloudFormation assumes to delete the stack. AWS CloudFormation uses the role's credentials to make calls on your behalf.

    If you don't specify a value, AWS CloudFormation uses the role that was previously associated with the stack. If no role is available, AWS CloudFormation uses a temporary session that is generated from your user credentials.

  • ClientRequestToken (string) --

    A unique identifier for this DeleteStack request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that AWS CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to delete a stack with the same name. You might retry DeleteStack requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

    All events triggered by a given stack operation are assigned the same client request token, which you can use to track operations. For example, if you execute a CreateStack operation with the token token1 , then all the StackEvents generated by that operation will have ClientRequestToken set as token1 .

    In the console, stack operations display the client request token on the Events tab. Stack operations that are initiated from the console use the token format Console-StackOperation-ID , which helps you easily identify the stack operation . For example, if you create a stack using the console, each stack event would be assigned the same token in the following format: Console-CreateStack-7f59c3cf-00d2-40c7-b2ff-e75db0987002 .

    • StackId (string) --

      The ARN of the stack that is associated with the change set.

    • StackName (string) --

      The name of the stack that is associated with the change set.

    • Description (string) --

      Information about the change set.

    • Parameters (list) --

      A list of Parameter structures that describes the input parameters and their values used to create the change set. For more information, see the Parameter data type.

      • (dict) --

        The Parameter data type.

        • ParameterKey (string) --

          The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

        • ParameterValue (string) --

          The input value associated with the parameter.

        • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

          During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

        • ResolvedValue (string) --

          Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

    • CreationTime (datetime) --

      The start time when the change set was created, in UTC.

    • ExecutionStatus (string) --

      If the change set execution status is AVAILABLE , you can execute the change set. If you can’t execute the change set, the status indicates why. For example, a change set might be in an UNAVAILABLE state because AWS CloudFormation is still creating it or in an OBSOLETE state because the stack was already updated.

    • Status (string) --

      The current status of the change set, such as CREATE_IN_PROGRESS , CREATE_COMPLETE , or FAILED .

    • StatusReason (string) --

      A description of the change set's status. For example, if your attempt to create a change set failed, AWS CloudFormation shows the error message.

    • NotificationARNs (list) --

      The ARNs of the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topics that will be associated with the stack if you execute the change set.

      • (string) --
    • RollbackConfiguration (dict) --

      The rollback triggers for AWS CloudFormation to monitor during stack creation and updating operations, and for the specified monitoring period afterwards.

      • RollbackTriggers (list) --

        The triggers to monitor during stack creation or update actions.

        By default, AWS CloudFormation saves the rollback triggers specified for a stack and applies them to any subsequent update operations for the stack, unless you specify otherwise. If you do specify rollback triggers for this parameter, those triggers replace any list of triggers previously specified for the stack. This means:

        • To use the rollback triggers previously specified for this stack, if any, don't specify this parameter.
        • To specify new or updated rollback triggers, you must specify all the triggers that you want used for this stack, even triggers you've specifed before (for example, when creating the stack or during a previous stack update). Any triggers that you don't include in the updated list of triggers are no longer applied to the stack.
        • To remove all currently specified triggers, specify an empty list for this parameter.

        If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

        • (dict) --

          A rollback trigger AWS CloudFormation monitors during creation and updating of stacks. If any of the alarms you specify goes to ALARM state during the stack operation or within the specified monitoring period afterwards, CloudFormation rolls back the entire stack operation.

          • Arn (string) --

            The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rollback trigger.

            If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

          • Type (string) --

            The resource type of the rollback trigger. Currently, AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm is the only supported resource type.

      • MonitoringTimeInMinutes (integer) --

        The amount of time, in minutes, during which CloudFormation should monitor all the rollback triggers after the stack creation or update operation deploys all necessary resources.

        The default is 0 minutes.

        If you specify a monitoring period but do not specify any rollback triggers, CloudFormation still waits the specified period of time before cleaning up old resources after update operations. You can use this monitoring period to perform any manual stack validation desired, and manually cancel the stack creation or update (using CancelUpdateStack , for example) as necessary.

        If you specify 0 for this parameter, CloudFormation still monitors the specified rollback triggers during stack creation and update operations. Then, for update operations, it begins disposing of old resources immediately once the operation completes.

    • Capabilities (list) --

      If you execute the change set, the list of capabilities that were explicitly acknowledged when the change set was created.

      • (string) --
    • Tags (list) --

      If you execute the change set, the tags that will be associated with the stack.

      • (dict) --

        The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

        • Key (string) --

          Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .

        • Value (string) --

          Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.

    • Changes (list) --

      A list of Change structures that describes the resources AWS CloudFormation changes if you execute the change set.

      • (dict) --

        The Change structure describes the changes AWS CloudFormation will perform if you execute the change set.

        • Type (string) --

          The type of entity that AWS CloudFormation changes. Currently, the only entity type is Resource .

        • ResourceChange (dict) --

          A ResourceChange structure that describes the resource and action that AWS CloudFormation will perform.

          • Action (string) --

            The action that AWS CloudFormation takes on the resource, such as Add (adds a new resource), Modify (changes a resource), or Remove (deletes a resource).

          • LogicalResourceId (string) --

            The resource's logical ID, which is defined in the stack's template.

          • PhysicalResourceId (string) --

            The resource's physical ID (resource name). Resources that you are adding don't have physical IDs because they haven't been created.

          • ResourceType (string) --

            The type of AWS CloudFormation resource, such as AWS::S3::Bucket .

          • Replacement (string) --

            For the Modify action, indicates whether AWS CloudFormation will replace the resource by creating a new one and deleting the old one. This value depends on the value of the RequiresRecreation property in the ResourceTargetDefinition structure. For example, if the RequiresRecreation field is Always and the Evaluation field is Static , Replacement is True . If the RequiresRecreation field is Always and the Evaluation field is Dynamic , Replacement is Conditionally .

            If you have multiple changes with different RequiresRecreation values, the Replacement value depends on the change with the most impact. A RequiresRecreation value of Always has the most impact, followed by Conditionally , and then Never .

          • Scope (list) --

            For the Modify action, indicates which resource attribute is triggering this update, such as a change in the resource attribute's Metadata , Properties , or Tags .

            • (string) --
          • Details (list) --

            For the Modify action, a list of ResourceChangeDetail structures that describes the changes that AWS CloudFormation will make to the resource.

            • (dict) --

              For a resource with Modify as the action, the ResourceChange structure describes the changes AWS CloudFormation will make to that resource.

              • Target (dict) --

                A ResourceTargetDefinition structure that describes the field that AWS CloudFormation will change and whether the resource will be recreated.

                • Attribute (string) --

                  Indicates which resource attribute is triggering this update, such as a change in the resource attribute's Metadata , Properties , or Tags .

                • Name (string) --

                  If the Attribute value is Properties , the name of the property. For all other attributes, the value is null.

                • RequiresRecreation (string) --

                  If the Attribute value is Properties , indicates whether a change to this property causes the resource to be recreated. The value can be Never , Always , or Conditionally . To determine the conditions for a Conditionally recreation, see the update behavior for that property in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

              • Evaluation (string) --

                Indicates whether AWS CloudFormation can determine the target value, and whether the target value will change before you execute a change set.

                For Static evaluations, AWS CloudFormation can determine that the target value will change, and its value. For example, if you directly modify the InstanceType property of an EC2 instance, AWS CloudFormation knows that this property value will change, and its value, so this is a Static evaluation.

                For Dynamic evaluations, cannot determine the target value because it depends on the result of an intrinsic function, such as a Ref or Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function, when the stack is updated. For example, if your template includes a reference to a resource that is conditionally recreated, the value of the reference (the physical ID of the resource) might change, depending on if the resource is recreated. If the resource is recreated, it will have a new physical ID, so all references to that resource will also be updated.

              • ChangeSource (string) --

                The group to which the CausingEntity value belongs. There are five entity groups:

                • ResourceReference entities are Ref intrinsic functions that refer to resources in the template, such as { "Ref" : "MyEC2InstanceResource" } .
                • ParameterReference entities are Ref intrinsic functions that get template parameter values, such as { "Ref" : "MyPasswordParameter" } .
                • ResourceAttribute entities are Fn::GetAtt intrinsic functions that get resource attribute values, such as { "Fn::GetAtt" : [ "MyEC2InstanceResource", "PublicDnsName" ] } .
                • DirectModification entities are changes that are made directly to the template.
                • Automatic entities are AWS::CloudFormation::Stack resource types, which are also known as nested stacks. If you made no changes to the AWS::CloudFormation::Stack resource, AWS CloudFormation sets the ChangeSource to Automatic because the nested stack's template might have changed. Changes to a nested stack's template aren't visible to AWS CloudFormation until you run an update on the parent stack.
              • CausingEntity (string) --

                The identity of the entity that triggered this change. This entity is a member of the group that is specified by the ChangeSource field. For example, if you modified the value of the KeyPairName parameter, the CausingEntity is the name of the parameter (KeyPairName ).

                If the ChangeSource value is DirectModification , no value is given for CausingEntity .

    • NextToken (string) --

      If the output exceeds 1 MB, a string that identifies the next page of changes. If there is no additional page, this value is null.

describe_stack_drift_detection_status(**kwargs)

Returns information about a stack drift detection operation. A stack drift detection operation detects whether a stack's actual configuration differs, or has drifted , from it's expected configuration, as defined in the stack template and any values specified as template parameters. A stack is considered to have drifted if one or more of its resources have drifted. For more information on stack and resource drift, see Detecting Unregulated Configuration Changes to Stacks and Resources .

Use DetectStackDrift to initiate a stack drift detection operation. DetectStackDrift returns a StackDriftDetectionId you can use to monitor the progress of the operation using DescribeStackDriftDetectionStatus . Once the drift detection operation has completed, use DescribeStackResourceDrifts to return drift information about the stack and its resources.

      The ID of the stack.

    • StackDriftDetectionId (string) --

      The ID of the drift detection results of this operation.

      AWS CloudFormation generates new results, with a new drift detection ID, each time this operation is run. However, the number of reports AWS CloudFormation retains for any given stack, and for how long, may vary.

    • StackDriftStatus (string) --

      Status of the stack's actual configuration compared to its expected configuration.

      The status of the stack drift detection operation.

      • DETECTION_COMPLETE : The stack drift detection operation has successfully completed for all resources in the stack that support drift detection. (Resources that do not currently support stack detection remain unchecked.) If you specified logical resource IDs for AWS CloudFormation to use as a filter for the stack drift detection operation, only the resources with those logical IDs are checked for drift.

        • PhysicalResourceId (string) --

          The name or unique identifier associated with the physical instance of the resource.

        • ResourceType (string) --

          BLOB of the properties used to create the resource.

        • ClientRequestToken (string) --

          The token passed to the operation that generated this event.

          All events triggered by a given stack operation are assigned the same client request token, which you can use to track operations. For example, if you execute a CreateStack operation with the token token1 , then all the StackEvents generated by that operation will have ClientRequestToken set as token1 .

          In the console, stack operations display the client request token on the Events tab. Stack operations that are initiated from the console use the token format Console-StackOperation-ID , which helps you easily identify the stack operation . For example, if you create a stack using the console, each stack event would be assigned the same token in the following format: Console-CreateStack-7f59c3cf-00d2-40c7-b2ff-e75db0987002 .

    • NextToken (string) --

      If the output exceeds 1 MB in size, a string that identifies the next page of events. If no additional page exists, this value is null.

describe_stack_instance(**kwargs)

        • CURRENT : The stack is currently up to date with the stack set.
      • StatusReason (string) --

        The explanation for the specific status code that is assigned to this stack instance.

describe_stack_resource(**kwargs)

describe_stack_resources(**kwargs)

Returns AWS resource descriptions for running and deleted stacks. If StackName is specified, all the associated resources that are part of the stack are returned. If PhysicalResourceId is specified, the associated resources of the stack that the resource belongs to are returned.

Note

Only the first 100 resources will be returned. If your stack has more resources than this, you should use ListStackResources instead.

For deleted stacks, DescribeStackResources returns resource information for up to 90 days after the stack has been deleted.

You must specify either StackName or PhysicalResourceId , but not both. In addition, you can specify LogicalResourceId to filter the returned result. For more information about resources, the LogicalResourceId and PhysicalResourceId , go to the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

Note

A ValidationError is returned if you specify both StackName and PhysicalResourceId in the same request.

        The type of stack set operation: CREATE , UPDATE , or DELETE . Create and delete operations affect only the specified stack set instances that are associated with the specified stack set. Update operations affect both the stack set itself, as well as all associated stack set instances.

      • Status (string) --

        The status of the operation.

        • FAILED : The operation exceeded the specified failure tolerance. The failure tolerance value that you've set for an operation is applied for each region during stack create and update operations. If the number of failed stacks within a region exceeds the failure tolerance, the status of the operation in the region is set to FAILED . This in turn sets the status of the operation as a whole to FAILED , and AWS CloudFormation cancels the operation in any remaining regions.
        • RUNNING : The operation is currently being performed.
        • STOPPED : The user has cancelled the operation.
        • STOPPING : The operation is in the process of stopping, at user request.
        • SUCCEEDED : The operation completed creating or updating all the specified stacks without exceeding the failure tolerance for the operation.
      • OperationPreferences (dict) --

        The preferences for how AWS CloudFormation performs this stack set operation.

        • RegionOrder (list) --

          The order of the regions in where you want to perform the stack operation.

          • (string) --
        • FailureToleranceCount (integer) --

          The number of accounts, per region, for which this operation can fail before AWS CloudFormation stops the operation in that region. If the operation is stopped in a region, AWS CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent regions.

          Conditional: You must specify either FailureToleranceCount or FailureTolerancePercentage (but not both).

        • FailureTolerancePercentage (integer) --

          The percentage of accounts, per region, for which this stack operation can fail before AWS CloudFormation stops the operation in that region. If the operation is stopped in a region, AWS CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent regions.

          When calculating the number of accounts based on the specified percentage, AWS CloudFormation rounds down to the next whole number.

          Conditional: You must specify either FailureToleranceCount or FailureTolerancePercentage , but not both.

        • MaxConcurrentCount (integer) --

          The maximum number of accounts in which to perform this operation at one time. This is dependent on the value of FailureToleranceCountMaxConcurrentCount is at most one more than the FailureToleranceCount .

          Note that this setting lets you specify the maximum for operations. For large deployments, under certain circumstances the actual number of accounts acted upon concurrently may be lower due to service throttling.

          Conditional: You must specify either MaxConcurrentCount or MaxConcurrentPercentage , but not both.

        • MaxConcurrentPercentage (integer) --

          The maximum percentage of accounts in which to perform this operation at one time.

          When calculating the number of accounts based on the specified percentage, AWS CloudFormation rounds down to the next whole number. This is true except in cases where rounding down would result is zero. In this case, CloudFormation sets the number as one instead.

          Note that this setting lets you specify the maximum for operations. For large deployments, under certain circumstances the actual number of accounts acted upon concurrently may be lower due to service throttling.

          Conditional: You must specify either MaxConcurrentCount or MaxConcurrentPercentage , but not both.

      • RetainStacks (boolean) --

        For stack set operations of action type DELETE , specifies whether to remove the stack instances from the specified stack set, but doesn't delete the stacks. You can't reassociate a retained stack, or add an existing, saved stack to a new stack set.

      • AdministrationRoleARN (string) --

        The Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the IAM role used to perform this stack set operation.

        Use customized administrator roles to control which users or groups can manage specific stack sets within the same administrator account. For more information, see Define Permissions for Multiple Administrators in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

      • ExecutionRoleName (string) --

        The name of the IAM execution role used to create or update the stack set.

        Use customized execution roles to control which stack resources users and groups can include in their stack sets.

      • CreationTimestamp (datetime) --

        The time at which the operation was initiated. Note that the creation times for the stack set operation might differ from the creation time of the individual stacks themselves. This is because AWS CloudFormation needs to perform preparatory work for the operation, such as dispatching the work to the requested regions, before actually creating the first stacks.

      • EndTimestamp (datetime) --

        The time at which the stack set operation ended, across all accounts and regions specified. Note that this doesn't necessarily mean that the stack set operation was successful, or even attempted, in each account or region.

describe_stacks(**kwargs)

Returns the description for the specified stack; if no stack name was specified, then it returns the description for all the stacks created.

Note

If the stack does not exist, an AmazonCloudFormationException is returned.

            The Parameter data type.

            • ParameterKey (string) --

              The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

            • ParameterValue (string) --

              The input value associated with the parameter.

            • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

              During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

            • ResolvedValue (string) --

              Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

        • CreationTime (datetime) --

          The time at which the stack was created.

        • DeletionTime (datetime) --

          The time the stack was deleted.

        • LastUpdatedTime (datetime) --

          The time the stack was last updated. This field will only be returned if the stack has been updated at least once.

        • RollbackConfiguration (dict) --

          The rollback triggers for AWS CloudFormation to monitor during stack creation and updating operations, and for the specified monitoring period afterwards.

          • RollbackTriggers (list) --

            The triggers to monitor during stack creation or update actions.

            By default, AWS CloudFormation saves the rollback triggers specified for a stack and applies them to any subsequent update operations for the stack, unless you specify otherwise. If you do specify rollback triggers for this parameter, those triggers replace any list of triggers previously specified for the stack. This means:

            • To use the rollback triggers previously specified for this stack, if any, don't specify this parameter.
            • To specify new or updated rollback triggers, you must specify all the triggers that you want used for this stack, even triggers you've specifed before (for example, when creating the stack or during a previous stack update). Any triggers that you don't include in the updated list of triggers are no longer applied to the stack.
            • To remove all currently specified triggers, specify an empty list for this parameter.

            If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

            • (dict) --

              A rollback trigger AWS CloudFormation monitors during creation and updating of stacks. If any of the alarms you specify goes to ALARM state during the stack operation or within the specified monitoring period afterwards, CloudFormation rolls back the entire stack operation.

              • Arn (string) --

                The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rollback trigger.

                If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

              • Type (string) --

                The resource type of the rollback trigger. Currently, AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm is the only supported resource type.

          • MonitoringTimeInMinutes (integer) --

            The amount of time, in minutes, during which CloudFormation should monitor all the rollback triggers after the stack creation or update operation deploys all necessary resources.

            The default is 0 minutes.

            If you specify a monitoring period but do not specify any rollback triggers, CloudFormation still waits the specified period of time before cleaning up old resources after update operations. You can use this monitoring period to perform any manual stack validation desired, and manually cancel the stack creation or update (using CancelUpdateStack , for example) as necessary.

            If you specify 0 for this parameter, CloudFormation still monitors the specified rollback triggers during stack creation and update operations. Then, for update operations, it begins disposing of old resources immediately once the operation completes.

        • StackStatus (string) --

          Current status of the stack.

        • StackStatusReason (string) --

          • false : enable rollback
        • NotificationARNs (list) --

          SNS topic ARNs to which stack related events are published.

          • (string) --

              The value associated with the output.

            • Description (string) --

              User defined description associated with the output.

            • ExportName (string) --

              The name of the export associated with the output.

        • RoleARN (string) --

            • Value (string) --

              Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.

        • EnableTerminationProtection (boolean) --

          Whether termination protection is enabled for the stack.

          For nested stacks , termination protection is set on the root stack and cannot be changed directly on the nested stack. For more information, see Protecting a Stack From Being Deleted in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

        • ParentId (string) --

          For nested stacks--stacks created as resources for another stack--the stack ID of the direct parent of this stack. For the first level of nested stacks, the root stack is also the parent stack.

          For more information, see Working with Nested Stacks in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

        • RootId (string) --

          For nested stacks--stacks created as resources for another stack--the stack ID of the the top-level stack to which the nested stack ultimately belongs.

        • DriftInformation (dict) --

          Information on whether a stack's actual configuration differs, or has drifted , from it's 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 .

          • StackDriftStatus (string) --

            Status of the stack's actual configuration compared to its expected template configuration.

            • DRIFTED : The stack differs from its expected template configuration. A stack is considered to have drifted if one or more of its resources have drifted.
            • NOT_CHECKED : AWS CloudFormation has not checked if the stack differs from its expected template configuration.
            • IN_SYNC : The stack's actual configuration matches its expected template configuration.
            • UNKNOWN : This value is reserved for future use.
          • LastCheckTimestamp (datetime) --

            Most recent time when a drift detection operation was initiated on the stack, or any of its individual resources that support drift detection.

    • NextToken (string) --

      If the output exceeds 1 MB in size, a string that identifies the next page of stacks. If no additional page exists, this value is null.

detect_stack_drift(**kwargs)

Detects whether a stack's actual configuration differs, or has drifted , from it's expected configuration, as defined in the stack template and any values specified as template parameters. For each resource in the stack that supports drift detection, AWS CloudFormation compares the actual configuration of the resource with its expected template configuration. Only resource properties explicitly defined in the stack template are checked for drift. A stack is considered to have drifted if one or more of its resources differ from their expected template configurations. For more information, see Detecting Unregulated Configuration Changes to Stacks and Resources .

Use DetectStackDrift to detect drift on all supported resources for a given stack, or DetectStackResourceDrift to detect drift on individual resources.

For a list of stack resources that currently support drift detection, see Resources that Support Drift Detection .

DetectStackDrift can take up to several minutes, depending on the number of resources contained within the stack. Use DescribeStackDriftDetectionStatus to monitor the progress of a detect stack drift operation. Once the drift detection operation has completed, use DescribeStackResourceDrifts to return drift information about the stack and its resources.

When detecting drift on a stack, AWS CloudFormation does not detect drift on any nested stacks belonging to that stack. Perform DetectStackDrift directly on the nested stack itself.

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, AWS CloudFormation starts updating the stack. Use the DescribeStacks action to view the status of the update.

When you execute a change set, AWS 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, AWS CloudFormation enforces the policy during the update. You can't specify a temporary stack policy that overrides the current policy.

          The result status of the stack set operation for the given account in the given region.

          • CANCELLED : The operation in the specified account and region has been cancelled. This is either because a user has stopped the stack set operation, or because the failure tolerance of the stack set operation has been exceeded.
          • FAILED : The operation in the specified account and region failed. If the stack set operation fails in enough accounts within a region, the failure tolerance for the stack set operation as a whole might be exceeded.
          • RUNNING : The operation in the specified account and region is currently in progress.
          • PENDING : The operation in the specified account and region has yet to start.

            • FAILED : The account gate function has determined that the account and region does not meet the requirements for a stack set operation to occur. AWS CloudFormation cancels the stack set operation in that account and region, and sets the stack set operation result status for that account and region to FAILED .
            • SKIPPED : AWS CloudFormation has skipped calling the account gate function for this account and region, for one of the following reasons:
              • An account gate function has not been specified for the account and region. AWS CloudFormation proceeds with the stack set operation in this account and region.
              • The AWSCloudFormationStackSetExecutionRole of the stack set adminstration account lacks permissions to invoke the function. AWS CloudFormation proceeds with the stack set operation in this account and region.

  • (dict) --

    • Summaries (list) --

      A list of StackSetOperationSummary structures that contain summary information about operations for the specified stack set.

      • (dict) --

        The structures that contain summary information about the specified operation.

        • OperationId (string) --

          The unique ID of the stack set operation.

        • Action (string) --

          The type of operation: CREATE , UPDATE , or DELETE . Create and delete operations affect only the specified stack instances that are associated with the specified stack set. Update operations affect both the stack set itself as well as all associated stack set instances.

        • Status (string) --

          The overall status of the operation.

          • FAILED : The operation exceeded the specified failure tolerance. The failure tolerance value that you've set for an operation is applied for each region during stack create and update operations. If the number of failed stacks within a region exceeds the failure tolerance, the status of the operation in the region is set to FAILED . This in turn sets the status of the operation as a whole to FAILED , and AWS CloudFormation cancels the operation in any remaining regions.
          • RUNNING : The operation is currently being performed.
          • STOPPED : The user has cancelled the operation.
          • STOPPING : The operation is in the process of stopping, at user request.
          • SUCCEEDED : The operation completed creating or updating all the specified stacks without exceeding the failure tolerance for the operation.
        • CreationTimestamp (datetime) --

          The time at which the operation was initiated. Note that the creation times for the stack set operation might differ from the creation time of the individual stacks themselves. This is because AWS CloudFormation needs to perform preparatory work for the operation, such as dispatching the work to the requested regions, before actually creating the first stacks.

        • EndTimestamp (datetime) --

          The time at which the stack set operation ended, across all accounts and regions specified. Note that this doesn't necessarily mean that the stack set operation was successful, or even attempted, in each account or region.

    • NextToken (string) --

      If the request doesn't return all results, NextToken is set to a token. To retrieve the next set of results, call ListOperationResults again and assign that token to the request object's NextToken parameter. If there are no remaining results, NextToken is set to null .

        Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

  • Capabilities (list) --

    In some cases, you must explicity acknowledge that your stack template contains certain capabilities in order for AWS CloudFormation to update the stack.

    • CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM Some stack templates might include resources that can affect permissions in your AWS account; for example, by creating new AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users. For those stacks, you must explicitly acknowledge this by specifying one of these capabilities. The following IAM resources require you to specify either the CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability.
      • If you have IAM resources, you can specify either capability.
      • If you have IAM resources with custom names, you must specify CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM .
      • If you don't specify either of these capabilities, AWS CloudFormation returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

    If your stack template contains these resources, we recommend that you review all permissions associated with them and edit their permissions if necessary.

    For more information, see Acknowledging IAM Resources in AWS CloudFormation Templates .

    • CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND Some template contain macros. Macros perform custom processing on templates; this can include simple actions like find-and-replace operations, all the way to extensive transformations of entire templates. Because of this, users typically create a change set from the processed template, so that they can review the changes resulting from the macros before actually updating the stack. If your stack template contains one or more macros, and you choose to update a stack directly from the processed template, without first reviewing the resulting changes in a change set, you must acknowledge this capability. This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by AWS CloudFormation. Change sets do not currently support nested stacks. If you want to update a stack from a stack template that contains macros and nested stacks, you must update the stack directly from the template using this capability.

    Warning

    You should only update stacks directly from a stack template that contains macros if you know what processing the macro performs. Each macro relies on an underlying Lambda service function for processing stack templates. Be aware that the Lambda function owner can update the function operation without AWS CloudFormation being notified.

    For more information, see Using AWS CloudFormation Macros to Perform Custom Processing on Templates .

    • (string) --
  • ResourceTypes (list) --

    The template resource types that you have permissions to work with for this update stack action, such as AWS::EC2::Instance , AWS::EC2::* , or Custom::MyCustomInstance .

    If the list of resource types doesn't include a resource that you're updating, the stack update fails. By default, AWS CloudFormation grants permissions to all resource types. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) uses this parameter for AWS CloudFormation-specific condition keys in IAM policies. For more information, see Controlling Access with AWS Identity and Access Management .

    • (string) --
  • RoleARN (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that AWS CloudFormation assumes to update the stack. AWS CloudFormation uses the role's credentials to make calls on your behalf. AWS CloudFormation always uses this role for all future operations on the stack. As long as users have permission to operate on the stack, AWS CloudFormation uses this role even if the users don't have permission to pass it. Ensure that the role grants least privilege.

    If you don't specify a value, AWS CloudFormation uses the role that was previously associated with the stack. If no role is available, AWS CloudFormation uses a temporary session that is generated from your user credentials.

  • RollbackConfiguration (dict) --

    The rollback triggers for AWS CloudFormation to monitor during stack creation and updating operations, and for the specified monitoring period afterwards.

    • RollbackTriggers (list) --

      The triggers to monitor during stack creation or update actions.

      By default, AWS CloudFormation saves the rollback triggers specified for a stack and applies them to any subsequent update operations for the stack, unless you specify otherwise. If you do specify rollback triggers for this parameter, those triggers replace any list of triggers previously specified for the stack. This means:

      • To use the rollback triggers previously specified for this stack, if any, don't specify this parameter.
      • To specify new or updated rollback triggers, you must specify all the triggers that you want used for this stack, even triggers you've specifed before (for example, when creating the stack or during a previous stack update). Any triggers that you don't include in the updated list of triggers are no longer applied to the stack.
      • To remove all currently specified triggers, specify an empty list for this parameter.

      If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

      • (dict) --

        A rollback trigger AWS CloudFormation monitors during creation and updating of stacks. If any of the alarms you specify goes to ALARM state during the stack operation or within the specified monitoring period afterwards, CloudFormation rolls back the entire stack operation.

        • Arn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rollback trigger.

          If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

        • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The resource type of the rollback trigger. Currently, AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm is the only supported resource type.

    • MonitoringTimeInMinutes (integer) --

      The amount of time, in minutes, during which CloudFormation should monitor all the rollback triggers after the stack creation or update operation deploys all necessary resources.

      The default is 0 minutes.

      If you specify a monitoring period but do not specify any rollback triggers, CloudFormation still waits the specified period of time before cleaning up old resources after update operations. You can use this monitoring period to perform any manual stack validation desired, and manually cancel the stack creation or update (using CancelUpdateStack , for example) as necessary.

      If you specify 0 for this parameter, CloudFormation still monitors the specified rollback triggers during stack creation and update operations. Then, for update operations, it begins disposing of old resources immediately once the operation completes.

  • StackPolicyBody (string) --

    Structure containing a new stack policy body. You can specify either the StackPolicyBody or the StackPolicyURL parameter, but not both.

    You might update the stack policy, for example, in order to protect a new resource that you created during a stack update. If you do not specify a stack policy, the current policy that is associated with the stack is unchanged.

  • StackPolicyURL (string) --

    Location of a file containing the updated stack policy. The URL must point to a policy (max size: 16KB) located in an S3 bucket in the same region as the stack. You can specify either the StackPolicyBody or the StackPolicyURL parameter, but not both.

    You might update the stack policy, for example, in order to protect a new resource that you created during a stack update. If you do not specify a stack policy, the current policy that is associated with the stack is unchanged.

  • NotificationARNs (list) --

    Amazon Simple Notification Service topic Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) that AWS CloudFormation associates with the stack. Specify an empty list to remove all notification topics.

    • (string) --
  • Tags (list) --

    Key-value pairs to associate with this stack. AWS CloudFormation also propagates these tags to supported resources in the stack. You can specify a maximum number of 50 tags.

    If you don't specify this parameter, AWS CloudFormation doesn't modify the stack's tags. If you specify an empty value, AWS CloudFormation removes all associated tags.

    • (dict) --

      The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .
      • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.
  • ClientRequestToken (string) --

    A unique identifier for this UpdateStack request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that AWS CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to update a stack with the same name. You might retry UpdateStack requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

    All events triggered by a given stack operation are assigned the same client request token, which you can use to track operations. For example, if you execute a CreateStack operation with the token token1 , then all the StackEvents generated by that operation will have ClientRequestToken set as token1 .

    In the console, stack operations display the client request token on the Events tab. Stack operations that are initiated from the console use the token format Console-StackOperation-ID , which helps you easily identify the stack operation . For example, if you create a stack using the console, each stack event would be assigned the same token in the following format: Console-CreateStack-7f59c3cf-00d2-40c7-b2ff-e75db0987002 .

update_stack_instances(**kwargs)

Updates the parameter values for stack instances for the specified accounts, within the specified regions. A stack instance refers to a stack in a specific account and region.

You can only update stack instances in regions and accounts where they already exist; to create additional stack instances, use CreateStackInstances .

During stack set updates, any parameters overridden for a stack instance are not updated, but retain their overridden value.

You can only update the parameter values that are specified in the stack set; to add or delete a parameter itself, use UpdateStackSet to update the stack set template. If you add a parameter to a template, before you can override the parameter value specified in the stack set you must first use UpdateStackSet to update all stack instances with the updated template and parameter value specified in the stack set. Once a stack instance has been updated with the new parameter, you can then override the parameter value using UpdateStackInstances .

Parameters
  • StackSetName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name or unique ID of the stack set associated with the stack instances.

  • Accounts (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The names of one or more AWS accounts for which you want to update parameter values for stack instances. The overridden parameter values will be applied to all stack instances in the specified accounts and regions.

    • (string) --
  • Regions (list) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The names of one or more regions in which you want to update parameter values for stack instances. The overridden parameter values will be applied to all stack instances in the specified accounts and regions.

    • (string) --
  • ParameterOverrides (list) --

    A list of input parameters whose values you want to update for the specified stack instances.

    Any overridden parameter values will be applied to all stack instances in the specified accounts and regions. When specifying parameters and their values, be aware of how AWS CloudFormation sets parameter values during stack instance update operations:

    • To override the current value for a parameter, include the parameter and specify its value.
    • To leave a parameter set to its present value, you can do one of the following:
      • Do not include the parameter in the list.
      • Include the parameter and specify UsePreviousValue as true . (You cannot specify both a value and set UsePreviousValue to true .)
    • To set all overridden parameter back to the values specified in the stack set, specify a parameter list but do not include any parameters.
    • To leave all parameters set to their present values, do not specify this property at all.

    During stack set updates, any parameter values overridden for a stack instance are not updated, but retain their overridden value.

    You can only override the parameter values that are specified in the stack set; to add or delete a parameter itself, use UpdateStackSet to update the stack set template. If you add a parameter to a template, before you can override the parameter value specified in the stack set you must first use UpdateStackSet to update all stack instances with the updated template and parameter value specified in the stack set. Once a stack instance has been updated with the new parameter, you can then override the parameter value using UpdateStackInstances .

    • (dict) --

      The Parameter data type.

      • ParameterKey (string) --

        The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

      • ParameterValue (string) --

        The input value associated with the parameter.

      • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

        During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

      • ResolvedValue (string) --

        Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

  • OperationPreferences (dict) --

    Preferences for how AWS CloudFormation performs this stack set operation.

    • RegionOrder (list) --

      The order of the regions in where you want to perform the stack operation.

      • (string) --
    • FailureToleranceCount (integer) --

      The number of accounts, per region, for which this operation can fail before AWS CloudFormation stops the operation in that region. If the operation is stopped in a region, AWS CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent regions.

      Conditional: You must specify either FailureToleranceCount or FailureTolerancePercentage (but not both).

    • FailureTolerancePercentage (integer) --

      The percentage of accounts, per region, for which this stack operation can fail before AWS CloudFormation stops the operation in that region. If the operation is stopped in a region, AWS CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent regions.

      When calculating the number of accounts based on the specified percentage, AWS CloudFormation rounds down to the next whole number.

      Conditional: You must specify either FailureToleranceCount or FailureTolerancePercentage , but not both.

    • MaxConcurrentCount (integer) --

      The maximum number of accounts in which to perform this operation at one time. This is dependent on the value of FailureToleranceCountMaxConcurrentCount is at most one more than the FailureToleranceCount .

      Note that this setting lets you specify the maximum for operations. For large deployments, under certain circumstances the actual number of accounts acted upon concurrently may be lower due to service throttling.

      Conditional: You must specify either MaxConcurrentCount or MaxConcurrentPercentage , but not both.

    • MaxConcurrentPercentage (integer) --

      The maximum percentage of accounts in which to perform this operation at one time.

      When calculating the number of accounts based on the specified percentage, AWS CloudFormation rounds down to the next whole number. This is true except in cases where rounding down would result is zero. In this case, CloudFormation sets the number as one instead.

      Note that this setting lets you specify the maximum for operations. For large deployments, under certain circumstances the actual number of accounts acted upon concurrently may be lower due to service throttling.

      Conditional: You must specify either MaxConcurrentCount or MaxConcurrentPercentage , but not both.

  • OperationId (string) --

    The unique identifier for this stack set operation.

    The operation ID also functions as an idempotency token, to ensure that AWS CloudFormation performs the stack set operation only once, even if you retry the request multiple times. You might retry stack set operation requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

    If you don't specify an operation ID, the SDK generates one automatically.

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.

    The structure that contains the template body, with a minimum length of 1 byte and a maximum length of 51,200 bytes. For more information, see Template Anatomy in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

    Conditional: You must specify only one of the following parameters: TemplateBody or TemplateURL —or set UsePreviousTemplate to true.

  • TemplateURL (string) --

    The location of the file that contains the template body. The URL must point to a template (maximum size: 460,800 bytes) that is located in an Amazon S3 bucket. For more information, see Template Anatomy in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

  • Parameters (list) --

    A list of input parameters for the stack set template.

    • (dict) --

      The Parameter data type.

      • ParameterKey (string) --

        The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

      • ParameterValue (string) --

        The input value associated with the parameter.

      • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

        During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

      • ResolvedValue (string) --

        Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

  • Capabilities (list) --

    In some cases, you must explicity acknowledge that your stack template contains certain capabilities in order for AWS CloudFormation to update the stack set and its associated stack instances.

    • CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM Some stack templates might include resources that can affect permissions in your AWS account; for example, by creating new AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users. For those stacks sets, you must explicitly acknowledge this by specifying one of these capabilities. The following IAM resources require you to specify either the CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability.
      • If you have IAM resources, you can specify either capability.
      • If you have IAM resources with custom names, you must specify CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM .
      • If you don't specify either of these capabilities, AWS CloudFormation returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

    If your stack template contains these resources, we recommend that you review all permissions associated with them and edit their permissions if necessary.

    For more information, see Acknowledging IAM Resources in AWS CloudFormation Templates .

    • CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND Some templates contain macros. If your stack template contains one or more macros, and you choose to update a stack directly from the processed template, without first reviewing the resulting changes in a change set, you must acknowledge this capability. For more information, see Using AWS CloudFormation Macros to Perform Custom Processing on Templates .

    Warning

    Stack sets do not currently support macros in stack templates. (This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by AWS CloudFormation.) Even if you specify this capability, if you include a macro in your template the stack set operation will fail.

    • (string) --
  • Tags (list) --

    The key-value pairs to associate with this stack set and the stacks created from it. AWS CloudFormation also propagates these tags to supported resources that are created in the stacks. You can specify a maximum number of 50 tags.

    If you specify tags for this parameter, those tags replace any list of tags that are currently associated with this stack set. This means:

    • If you don't specify this parameter, AWS CloudFormation doesn't modify the stack's tags.
    • If you specify any tags using this parameter, you must specify all the tags that you want associated with this stack set, even tags you've specifed before (for example, when creating the stack set or during a previous update of the stack set.). Any tags that you don't include in the updated list of tags are removed from the stack set, and therefore from the stacks and resources as well.
    • If you specify an empty value, AWS CloudFormation removes all currently associated tags.

    If you specify new tags as part of an UpdateStackSet action, AWS CloudFormation checks to see if you have the required IAM permission to tag resources. If you omit tags that are currently associated with the stack set from the list of tags you specify, AWS CloudFormation assumes that you want to remove those tags from the stack set, and checks to see if you have permission to untag resources. If you don't have the necessary permission(s), the entire UpdateStackSet action fails with an access denied error, and the stack set is not updated.

    • (dict) --

      The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .
      • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.
  • OperationPreferences (dict) --

    Preferences for how AWS CloudFormation performs this stack set operation.

    • RegionOrder (list) --

      The order of the regions in where you want to perform the stack operation.

      • (string) --
    • FailureToleranceCount (integer) --

      The number of accounts, per region, for which this operation can fail before AWS CloudFormation stops the operation in that region. If the operation is stopped in a region, AWS CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent regions.

      Conditional: You must specify either FailureToleranceCount or FailureTolerancePercentage (but not both).

    • FailureTolerancePercentage (integer) --

      The percentage of accounts, per region, for which this stack operation can fail before AWS CloudFormation stops the operation in that region. If the operation is stopped in a region, AWS CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent regions.

      When calculating the number of accounts based on the specified percentage, AWS CloudFormation rounds down to the next whole number.

      Conditional: You must specify either FailureToleranceCount or FailureTolerancePercentage , but not both.

    • MaxConcurrentCount (integer) --

      The maximum number of accounts in which to perform this operation at one time. This is dependent on the value of FailureToleranceCountMaxConcurrentCount is at most one more than the FailureToleranceCount .

      Note that this setting lets you specify the maximum for operations. For large deployments, under certain circumstances the actual number of accounts acted upon concurrently may be lower due to service throttling.

      Conditional: You must specify either MaxConcurrentCount or MaxConcurrentPercentage , but not both.

    • MaxConcurrentPercentage (integer) --

      The maximum percentage of accounts in which to perform this operation at one time.

      When calculating the number of accounts based on the specified percentage, AWS CloudFormation rounds down to the next whole number. This is true except in cases where rounding down would result is zero. In this case, CloudFormation sets the number as one instead.

      Note that this setting lets you specify the maximum for operations. For large deployments, under certain circumstances the actual number of accounts acted upon concurrently may be lower due to service throttling.

      Conditional: You must specify either MaxConcurrentCount or MaxConcurrentPercentage , but not both.

  • AdministrationRoleARN (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the IAM role to use to update this stack set.

    Specify an IAM role only if you are using customized administrator roles to control which users or groups can manage specific stack sets within the same administrator account. For more information, see Granting Permissions for Stack Set Operations in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

    If you specified a customized administrator role when you created the stack set, you must specify a customized administrator role, even if it is the same customized administrator role used with this stack set previously.

  • ExecutionRoleName (string) --

    The name of the IAM execution role to use to update the stack set. If you do not specify an execution role, AWS CloudFormation uses the AWSCloudFormationStackSetExecutionRole role for the stack set operation.

    Specify an IAM role only if you are using customized execution roles to control which stack resources users and groups can include in their stack sets.

    If you specify a customized execution role, AWS CloudFormation uses that role to update the stack. If you do not specify a customized execution role, AWS CloudFormation performs the update using the role previously associated with the stack set, so long as you have permissions to perform operations on the stack set.

  • OperationId (string) --

    The unique ID for this stack set operation.

    The operation ID also functions as an idempotency token, to ensure that AWS CloudFormation performs the stack set operation only once, even if you retry the request multiple times. You might retry stack set operation requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

    If you don't specify an operation ID, AWS CloudFormation generates one automatically.

    Repeating this stack set operation with a new operation ID retries all stack instances whose status is OUTDATED .

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.

  • Accounts (list) --

    The accounts in which to update associated stack instances. If you specify accounts, you must also specify the regions in which to update stack set instances.

    To update all the stack instances associated with this stack set, do not specify the Accounts or Regions properties.

    If the stack set update includes changes to the template (that is, if the TemplateBody or TemplateURL properties are specified), or the Parameters property, AWS CloudFormation marks all stack instances with a status of OUTDATED prior to updating the stack instances in the specified accounts and regions. If the stack set update does not include changes to the template or parameters, AWS CloudFormation updates the stack instances in the specified accounts and regions, while leaving all other stack instances with their existing stack instance status.

    • (string) --
  • Regions (list) --

    The regions in which to update associated stack instances. If you specify regions, you must also specify accounts in which to update stack set instances.

    To update all the stack instances associated with this stack set, do not specify the Accounts or Regions properties.

    If the stack set update includes changes to the template (that is, if the TemplateBody or TemplateURL properties are specified), or the Parameters property, AWS CloudFormation marks all stack instances with a status of OUTDATED prior to updating the stack instances in the specified accounts and regions. If the stack set update does not include changes to the template or parameters, AWS CloudFormation updates the stack instances in the specified accounts and regions, while leaving all other stack instances with their existing stack instance status.

    • ChangeSetName (string) --

      The name of the change set.

    • ChangeSetId (string) --

      The ARN of the change set.

    • StackId (string) --

      The ARN of the stack that is associated with the change set.

    • StackName (string) --

      The name of the stack that is associated with the change set.

    • Description (string) --

      Information about the change set.

    • Parameters (list) --

      A list of Parameter structures that describes the input parameters and their values used to create the change set. For more information, see the Parameter data type.

      • (dict) --

        The Parameter data type.

        • ParameterKey (string) --

          The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

        • ParameterValue (string) --

          The input value associated with the parameter.

        • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

          During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

        • ResolvedValue (string) --

          Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

    • CreationTime (datetime) --

      The start time when the change set was created, in UTC.

    • ExecutionStatus (string) --

      If the change set execution status is AVAILABLE , you can execute the change set. If you can’t execute the change set, the status indicates why. For example, a change set might be in an UNAVAILABLE state because AWS CloudFormation is still creating it or in an OBSOLETE state because the stack was already updated.

    • Status (string) --

      The current status of the change set, such as CREATE_IN_PROGRESS , CREATE_COMPLETE , or FAILED .

    • StatusReason (string) --

      A description of the change set's status. For example, if your attempt to create a change set failed, AWS CloudFormation shows the error message.

    • NotificationARNs (list) --

      The ARNs of the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topics that will be associated with the stack if you execute the change set.

      • (string) --
    • RollbackConfiguration (dict) --

      The rollback triggers for AWS CloudFormation to monitor during stack creation and updating operations, and for the specified monitoring period afterwards.

      • RollbackTriggers (list) --

        The triggers to monitor during stack creation or update actions.

        By default, AWS CloudFormation saves the rollback triggers specified for a stack and applies them to any subsequent update operations for the stack, unless you specify otherwise. If you do specify rollback triggers for this parameter, those triggers replace any list of triggers previously specified for the stack. This means:

        • To use the rollback triggers previously specified for this stack, if any, don't specify this parameter.
        • To specify new or updated rollback triggers, you must specify all the triggers that you want used for this stack, even triggers you've specifed before (for example, when creating the stack or during a previous stack update). Any triggers that you don't include in the updated list of triggers are no longer applied to the stack.
        • To remove all currently specified triggers, specify an empty list for this parameter.

        If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

        • (dict) --

          A rollback trigger AWS CloudFormation monitors during creation and updating of stacks. If any of the alarms you specify goes to ALARM state during the stack operation or within the specified monitoring period afterwards, CloudFormation rolls back the entire stack operation.

          • Arn (string) --

            The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rollback trigger.

            If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

          • Type (string) --

            The resource type of the rollback trigger. Currently, AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm is the only supported resource type.

      • MonitoringTimeInMinutes (integer) --

        The amount of time, in minutes, during which CloudFormation should monitor all the rollback triggers after the stack creation or update operation deploys all necessary resources.

        The default is 0 minutes.

        If you specify a monitoring period but do not specify any rollback triggers, CloudFormation still waits the specified period of time before cleaning up old resources after update operations. You can use this monitoring period to perform any manual stack validation desired, and manually cancel the stack creation or update (using CancelUpdateStack , for example) as necessary.

        If you specify 0 for this parameter, CloudFormation still monitors the specified rollback triggers during stack creation and update operations. Then, for update operations, it begins disposing of old resources immediately once the operation completes.

    • Capabilities (list) --

      If you execute the change set, the list of capabilities that were explicitly acknowledged when the change set was created.

      • (string) --
    • Tags (list) --

      If you execute the change set, the tags that will be associated with the stack.

      • (dict) --

        The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

        • Key (string) --

          Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .

        • Value (string) --

          Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.

    • Changes (list) --

      A list of Change structures that describes the resources AWS CloudFormation changes if you execute the change set.

      • (dict) --

        The Change structure describes the changes AWS CloudFormation will perform if you execute the change set.

        • Type (string) --

          The type of entity that AWS CloudFormation changes. Currently, the only entity type is Resource .

        • ResourceChange (dict) --

          A ResourceChange structure that describes the resource and action that AWS CloudFormation will perform.

          • Action (string) --

            The action that AWS CloudFormation takes on the resource, such as Add (adds a new resource), Modify (changes a resource), or Remove (deletes a resource).

          • LogicalResourceId (string) --

            The resource's logical ID, which is defined in the stack's template.

          • PhysicalResourceId (string) --

            The resource's physical ID (resource name). Resources that you are adding don't have physical IDs because they haven't been created.

          • ResourceType (string) --

            The type of AWS CloudFormation resource, such as AWS::S3::Bucket .

          • Replacement (string) --

            For the Modify action, indicates whether AWS CloudFormation will replace the resource by creating a new one and deleting the old one. This value depends on the value of the RequiresRecreation property in the ResourceTargetDefinition structure. For example, if the RequiresRecreation field is Always and the Evaluation field is Static , Replacement is True . If the RequiresRecreation field is Always and the Evaluation field is Dynamic , Replacement is Conditionally .

            If you have multiple changes with different RequiresRecreation values, the Replacement value depends on the change with the most impact. A RequiresRecreation value of Always has the most impact, followed by Conditionally , and then Never .

          • Scope (list) --

            For the Modify action, indicates which resource attribute is triggering this update, such as a change in the resource attribute's Metadata , Properties , or Tags .

            • (string) --
          • Details (list) --

            For the Modify action, a list of ResourceChangeDetail structures that describes the changes that AWS CloudFormation will make to the resource.

            • (dict) --

              For a resource with Modify as the action, the ResourceChange structure describes the changes AWS CloudFormation will make to that resource.

              • Target (dict) --

                A ResourceTargetDefinition structure that describes the field that AWS CloudFormation will change and whether the resource will be recreated.

                • Attribute (string) --

                  Indicates which resource attribute is triggering this update, such as a change in the resource attribute's Metadata , Properties , or Tags .

                • Name (string) --

                  If the Attribute value is Properties , the name of the property. For all other attributes, the value is null.

                • RequiresRecreation (string) --

                  If the Attribute value is Properties , indicates whether a change to this property causes the resource to be recreated. The value can be Never , Always , or Conditionally . To determine the conditions for a Conditionally recreation, see the update behavior for that property in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

              • Evaluation (string) --

                Indicates whether AWS CloudFormation can determine the target value, and whether the target value will change before you execute a change set.

                For Static evaluations, AWS CloudFormation can determine that the target value will change, and its value. For example, if you directly modify the InstanceType property of an EC2 instance, AWS CloudFormation knows that this property value will change, and its value, so this is a Static evaluation.

                For Dynamic evaluations, cannot determine the target value because it depends on the result of an intrinsic function, such as a Ref or Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function, when the stack is updated. For example, if your template includes a reference to a resource that is conditionally recreated, the value of the reference (the physical ID of the resource) might change, depending on if the resource is recreated. If the resource is recreated, it will have a new physical ID, so all references to that resource will also be updated.

              • ChangeSource (string) --

                The group to which the CausingEntity value belongs. There are five entity groups:

                • ResourceReference entities are Ref intrinsic functions that refer to resources in the template, such as { "Ref" : "MyEC2InstanceResource" } .
                • ParameterReference entities are Ref intrinsic functions that get template parameter values, such as { "Ref" : "MyPasswordParameter" } .
                • ResourceAttribute entities are Fn::GetAtt intrinsic functions that get resource attribute values, such as { "Fn::GetAtt" : [ "MyEC2InstanceResource", "PublicDnsName" ] } .
                • DirectModification entities are changes that are made directly to the template.
                • Automatic entities are AWS::CloudFormation::Stack resource types, which are also known as nested stacks. If you made no changes to the AWS::CloudFormation::Stack resource, AWS CloudFormation sets the ChangeSource to Automatic because the nested stack's template might have changed. Changes to a nested stack's template aren't visible to AWS CloudFormation until you run an update on the parent stack.
              • CausingEntity (string) --

                The identity of the entity that triggered this change. This entity is a member of the group that is specified by the ChangeSource field. For example, if you modified the value of the KeyPairName parameter, the CausingEntity is the name of the parameter (KeyPairName ).

                If the ChangeSource value is DirectModification , no value is given for CausingEntity .

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    The output for a DescribeStackEvents action.

    • StackEvents (list) --

      A list of StackEvents structures.

      • (dict) --

        The StackEvent data type.

        • StackId (string) --

          The unique ID name of the instance of the stack.

        • EventId (string) --

          The unique ID of this event.

        • StackName (string) --

          The name associated with a stack.

        • LogicalResourceId (string) --

          The logical name of the resource specified in the template.

        • PhysicalResourceId (string) --

          The name or unique identifier associated with the physical instance of the resource.

        • ResourceType (string) --

          Type of resource. (For more information, go to AWS Resource Types Reference in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.)

        • Timestamp (datetime) --

          Time the status was updated.

        • ResourceStatus (string) --

          Current status of the resource.

        • ResourceStatusReason (string) --

          Success/failure message associated with the resource.

        • ResourceProperties (string) --

          BLOB of the properties used to create the resource.

        • ClientRequestToken (string) --

          The token passed to the operation that generated this event.

          All events triggered by a given stack operation are assigned the same client request token, which you can use to track operations. For example, if you execute a CreateStack operation with the token token1 , then all the StackEvents generated by that operation will have ClientRequestToken set as token1 .

          In the console, stack operations display the client request token on the Events tab. Stack operations that are initiated from the console use the token format Console-StackOperation-ID , which helps you easily identify the stack operation . For example, if you create a stack using the console, each stack event would be assigned the same token in the following format: Console-CreateStack-7f59c3cf-00d2-40c7-b2ff-e75db0987002 .

          A list of Parameter structures.

          • (dict) --

            The Parameter data type.

            • ParameterKey (string) --

              The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

            • ParameterValue (string) --

              The input value associated with the parameter.

            • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

              During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

            • ResolvedValue (string) --

              Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

        • CreationTime (datetime) --

          The time at which the stack was created.

        • DeletionTime (datetime) --

          The time the stack was deleted.

        • LastUpdatedTime (datetime) --

          The time the stack was last updated. This field will only be returned if the stack has been updated at least once.

        • RollbackConfiguration (dict) --

          The rollback triggers for AWS CloudFormation to monitor during stack creation and updating operations, and for the specified monitoring period afterwards.

          • RollbackTriggers (list) --

            The triggers to monitor during stack creation or update actions.

            By default, AWS CloudFormation saves the rollback triggers specified for a stack and applies them to any subsequent update operations for the stack, unless you specify otherwise. If you do specify rollback triggers for this parameter, those triggers replace any list of triggers previously specified for the stack. This means:

            • To use the rollback triggers previously specified for this stack, if any, don't specify this parameter.
            • To specify new or updated rollback triggers, you must specify all the triggers that you want used for this stack, even triggers you've specifed before (for example, when creating the stack or during a previous stack update). Any triggers that you don't include in the updated list of triggers are no longer applied to the stack.
            • To remove all currently specified triggers, specify an empty list for this parameter.

            If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

            • (dict) --

              A rollback trigger AWS CloudFormation monitors during creation and updating of stacks. If any of the alarms you specify goes to ALARM state during the stack operation or within the specified monitoring period afterwards, CloudFormation rolls back the entire stack operation.

              • Arn (string) --

                The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rollback trigger.

                If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

              • Type (string) --

                The resource type of the rollback trigger. Currently, AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm is the only supported resource type.

          • MonitoringTimeInMinutes (integer) --

            The amount of time, in minutes, during which CloudFormation should monitor all the rollback triggers after the stack creation or update operation deploys all necessary resources.

            The default is 0 minutes.

            If you specify a monitoring period but do not specify any rollback triggers, CloudFormation still waits the specified period of time before cleaning up old resources after update operations. You can use this monitoring period to perform any manual stack validation desired, and manually cancel the stack creation or update (using CancelUpdateStack , for example) as necessary.

            If you specify 0 for this parameter, CloudFormation still monitors the specified rollback triggers during stack creation and update operations. Then, for update operations, it begins disposing of old resources immediately once the operation completes.

        • StackStatus (string) --

          Current status of the stack.

        • StackStatusReason (string) --

          Success/failure message associated with the stack status.

          • true : disable rollback
          • false : enable rollback
        • NotificationARNs (list) --

          SNS topic ARNs to which stack related events are published.

          • (string) --
        • TimeoutInMinutes (integer) --

          The amount of time within which stack creation should complete.

        • Capabilities (list) --

          The capabilities allowed in the stack.

          • (string) --
        • Outputs (list) --

        • RoleARN (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that is associated with the stack. During a stack operation, AWS CloudFormation uses this role's credentials to make calls on your behalf.

        • Tags (list) --

          A list of Tag s that specify information about the stack.

          • (dict) --

            • Key (string) --

              Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .

            • Value (string) --

              Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.

        • EnableTerminationProtection (boolean) --

          Whether termination protection is enabled for the stack.

          For nested stacks , termination protection is set on the root stack and cannot be changed directly on the nested stack. For more information, see Protecting a Stack From Being Deleted in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

        • ParentId (string) --

          For nested stacks--stacks created as resources for another stack--the stack ID of the direct parent of this stack. For the first level of nested stacks, the root stack is also the parent stack.

          For more information, see Working with Nested Stacks in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

        • RootId (string) --

          For nested stacks--stacks created as resources for another stack--the stack ID of the the top-level stack to which the nested stack ultimately belongs.

            Status of the stack's actual configuration compared to its expected template configuration.

            • DRIFTED : The stack differs from its expected template configuration. A stack is considered to have drifted if one or more of its resources have drifted.
            • NOT_CHECKED : AWS CloudFormation has not checked if the stack differs from its expected template configuration.
            • IN_SYNC : The stack's actual configuration matches its expected template configuration.
            • UNKNOWN : This value is reserved for future use.
          • LastCheckTimestamp (datetime) --

            Most recent time when a drift detection operation was initiated on the stack, or any of its individual resources that support drift detection.

          The result status of the stack set operation for the given account in the given region.

          • CANCELLED : The operation in the specified account and region has been cancelled. This is either because a user has stopped the stack set operation, or because the failure tolerance of the stack set operation has been exceeded.
          • FAILED : The operation in the specified account and region failed. If the stack set operation fails in enough accounts within a region, the failure tolerance for the stack set operation as a whole might be exceeded.
          • RUNNING : The operation in the specified account and region is currently in progress.
          • PENDING : The operation in the specified account and region has yet to start.
          • SUCCEEDED : The operation in the specified account and region completed successfully.

            • FAILED : The account gate function has determined that the account and region does not meet the requirements for a stack set operation to occur. AWS CloudFormation cancels the stack set operation in that account and region, and sets the stack set operation result status for that account and region to FAILED .
            • SKIPPED : AWS CloudFormation has skipped calling the account gate function for this account and region, for one of the following reasons:
              • An account gate function has not been specified for the account and region. AWS CloudFormation proceeds with the stack set operation in this account and region.
              • The AWSCloudFormationStackSetExecutionRole of the stack set adminstration account lacks permissions to invoke the function. AWS CloudFormation proceeds with the stack set operation in this account and region.
              • Either no action is necessary, or no action is possible, on the stack. AWS CloudFormation skips the stack set operation in this account and region.
          • StatusReason (string) --

            The reason for the account gate status assigned to this account and region for the stack set operation.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • Summaries (list) --

      A list of StackSetOperationSummary structures that contain summary information about operations for the specified stack set.

      • (dict) --

        The structures that contain summary information about the specified operation.

        • OperationId (string) --

          The unique ID of the stack set operation.

        • Action (string) --

          The type of operation: CREATE , UPDATE , or DELETE . Create and delete operations affect only the specified stack instances that are associated with the specified stack set. Update operations affect both the stack set itself as well as all associated stack set instances.

        • Status (string) --

          The overall status of the operation.

          • FAILED : The operation exceeded the specified failure tolerance. The failure tolerance value that you've set for an operation is applied for each region during stack create and update operations. If the number of failed stacks within a region exceeds the failure tolerance, the status of the operation in the region is set to FAILED . This in turn sets the status of the operation as a whole to FAILED , and AWS CloudFormation cancels the operation in any remaining regions.
          • RUNNING : The operation is currently being performed.
          • STOPPED : The user has cancelled the operation.
          • STOPPING : The operation is in the process of stopping, at user request.
          • SUCCEEDED : The operation completed creating or updating all the specified stacks without exceeding the failure tolerance for the operation.
        • CreationTimestamp (datetime) --

          The time at which the operation was initiated. Note that the creation times for the stack set operation might differ from the creation time of the individual stacks themselves. This is because AWS CloudFormation needs to perform preparatory work for the operation, such as dispatching the work to the requested regions, before actually creating the first stacks.

        • EndTimestamp (datetime) --

          The time at which the stack set operation ended, across all accounts and regions specified. Note that this doesn't necessarily mean that the stack set operation was successful, or even attempted, in each account or region.

class CloudFormation.Paginator.ListStackSets

Parameters
  • StackName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name that is associated with the stack. The name must be unique in the region in which you are creating the stack.

    Note

    A stack name can contain only alphanumeric characters (case sensitive) and hyphens. It must start with an alphabetic character and cannot be longer than 128 characters.

  • TemplateBody (string) --

    Structure containing the template body with a minimum length of 1 byte and a maximum length of 51,200 bytes. For more information, go to Template Anatomy in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

    Conditional: You must specify either the TemplateBody or the TemplateURL parameter, but not both.

  • TemplateURL (string) --

    Location of file containing the template body. The URL must point to a template (max size: 460,800 bytes) that is located in an Amazon S3 bucket. For more information, go to the Template Anatomy in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

    Conditional: You must specify either the TemplateBody or the TemplateURL parameter, but not both.

  • Parameters (list) --

    A list of Parameter structures that specify input parameters for the stack. For more information, see the Parameter data type.

    • (dict) --

      The Parameter data type.

      • ParameterKey (string) --

        The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

      • ParameterValue (string) --

        The input value associated with the parameter.

      • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

        During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

      • ResolvedValue (string) --

        Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

  • DisableRollback (boolean) --

    Set to true to disable rollback of the stack if stack creation failed. You can specify either DisableRollback or OnFailure , but not both.

    Default: false

  • RollbackConfiguration (dict) --

    The rollback triggers for AWS CloudFormation to monitor during stack creation and updating operations, and for the specified monitoring period afterwards.

    • RollbackTriggers (list) --

      The triggers to monitor during stack creation or update actions.

      By default, AWS CloudFormation saves the rollback triggers specified for a stack and applies them to any subsequent update operations for the stack, unless you specify otherwise. If you do specify rollback triggers for this parameter, those triggers replace any list of triggers previously specified for the stack. This means:

      • To use the rollback triggers previously specified for this stack, if any, don't specify this parameter.
      • To specify new or updated rollback triggers, you must specify all the triggers that you want used for this stack, even triggers you've specifed before (for example, when creating the stack or during a previous stack update). Any triggers that you don't include in the updated list of triggers are no longer applied to the stack.
      • To remove all currently specified triggers, specify an empty list for this parameter.

      If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

      • (dict) --

        A rollback trigger AWS CloudFormation monitors during creation and updating of stacks. If any of the alarms you specify goes to ALARM state during the stack operation or within the specified monitoring period afterwards, CloudFormation rolls back the entire stack operation.

        • Arn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rollback trigger.

          If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

        • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The resource type of the rollback trigger. Currently, AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm is the only supported resource type.

    • MonitoringTimeInMinutes (integer) --

      The amount of time, in minutes, during which CloudFormation should monitor all the rollback triggers after the stack creation or update operation deploys all necessary resources.

      The default is 0 minutes.

      If you specify a monitoring period but do not specify any rollback triggers, CloudFormation still waits the specified period of time before cleaning up old resources after update operations. You can use this monitoring period to perform any manual stack validation desired, and manually cancel the stack creation or update (using CancelUpdateStack , for example) as necessary.

      If you specify 0 for this parameter, CloudFormation still monitors the specified rollback triggers during stack creation and update operations. Then, for update operations, it begins disposing of old resources immediately once the operation completes.

  • TimeoutInMinutes (integer) -- The amount of time that can pass before the stack status becomes CREATE_FAILED; if DisableRollback is not set or is set to false , the stack will be rolled back.
  • NotificationARNs (list) --

    The Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic ARNs to publish stack related events. You can find your SNS topic ARNs using the SNS console or your Command Line Interface (CLI).

    • (string) --
  • Capabilities (list) --

    In some cases, you must explicity acknowledge that your stack template contains certain capabilities in order for AWS CloudFormation to create the stack.

    • CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM Some stack templates might include resources that can affect permissions in your AWS account; for example, by creating new AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users. For those stacks, you must explicitly acknowledge this by specifying one of these capabilities. The following IAM resources require you to specify either the CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability.
      • If you have IAM resources, you can specify either capability.
      • If you have IAM resources with custom names, you must specify CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM .
      • If you don't specify either of these capabilities, AWS CloudFormation returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

    If your stack template contains these resources, we recommend that you review all permissions associated with them and edit their permissions if necessary.

    For more information, see Acknowledging IAM Resources in AWS CloudFormation Templates .

    • CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND Some template contain macros. Macros perform custom processing on templates; this can include simple actions like find-and-replace operations, all the way to extensive transformations of entire templates. Because of this, users typically create a change set from the processed template, so that they can review the changes resulting from the macros before actually creating the stack. If your stack template contains one or more macros, and you choose to create a stack directly from the processed template, without first reviewing the resulting changes in a change set, you must acknowledge this capability. This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by AWS CloudFormation. Change sets do not currently support nested stacks. If you want to create a stack from a stack template that contains macros and nested stacks, you must create the stack directly from the template using this capability.

    Warning

    You should only create stacks directly from a stack template that contains macros if you know what processing the macro performs. Each macro relies on an underlying Lambda service function for processing stack templates. Be aware that the Lambda function owner can update the function operation without AWS CloudFormation being notified.

    For more information, see Using AWS CloudFormation Macros to Perform Custom Processing on Templates .

    • (string) --
  • ResourceTypes (list) --

    The template resource types that you have permissions to work with for this create stack action, such as AWS::EC2::Instance , AWS::EC2::* , or Custom::MyCustomInstance . Use the following syntax to describe template resource types: AWS::* (for all AWS resource), Custom::* (for all custom resources), Custom::*logical_ID* `` (for a specific custom resource), ``AWS::*service_name* ::* (for all resources of a particular AWS service), and ``AWS::service_name ::resource_logical_ID `` (for a specific AWS resource).

    If the list of resource types doesn't include a resource that you're creating, the stack creation fails. By default, AWS CloudFormation grants permissions to all resource types. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) uses this parameter for AWS CloudFormation-specific condition keys in IAM policies. For more information, see Controlling Access with AWS Identity and Access Management .

    • (string) --
  • RoleARN (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that AWS CloudFormation assumes to create the stack. AWS CloudFormation uses the role's credentials to make calls on your behalf. AWS CloudFormation always uses this role for all future operations on the stack. As long as users have permission to operate on the stack, AWS CloudFormation uses this role even if the users don't have permission to pass it. Ensure that the role grants least privilege.

    If you don't specify a value, AWS CloudFormation uses the role that was previously associated with the stack. If no role is available, AWS CloudFormation uses a temporary session that is generated from your user credentials.

  • OnFailure (string) --

    Determines what action will be taken if stack creation fails. This must be one of: DO_NOTHING, ROLLBACK, or DELETE. You can specify either OnFailure or DisableRollback , but not both.

    Default: ROLLBACK

  • StackPolicyBody (string) -- Structure containing the stack policy body. For more information, go to Prevent Updates to Stack Resources in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide . You can specify either the StackPolicyBody or the StackPolicyURL parameter, but not both.
  • StackPolicyURL (string) -- Location of a file containing the stack policy. The URL must point to a policy (maximum size: 16 KB) located in an S3 bucket in the same region as the stack. You can specify either the StackPolicyBody or the StackPolicyURL parameter, but not both.
  • Tags (list) --

    Key-value pairs to associate with this stack. AWS CloudFormation also propagates these tags to the resources created in the stack. A maximum number of 50 tags can be specified.

    • (dict) --

      The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .
      • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.
  • ClientRequestToken (string) --

    A unique identifier for this CreateStack request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that AWS CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to create a stack with the same name. You might retry CreateStack requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

    All events triggered by a given stack operation are assigned the same client request token, which you can use to track operations. For example, if you execute a CreateStack operation with the token token1 , then all the StackEvents generated by that operation will have ClientRequestToken set as token1 .

    In the console, stack operations display the client request token on the Events tab. Stack operations that are initiated from the console use the token format Console-StackOperation-ID , which helps you easily identify the stack operation . For example, if you create a stack using the console, each stack event would be assigned the same token in the following format: Console-CreateStack-7f59c3cf-00d2-40c7-b2ff-e75db0987002 .

  • EnableTerminationProtection (boolean) --

    Whether to enable termination protection on the specified stack. If a user attempts to delete a stack with termination protection enabled, the operation fails and the stack remains unchanged. For more information, see Protecting a Stack From Being Deleted in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide . Termination protection is disabled on stacks by default.

    For nested stacks , termination protection is set on the root stack and cannot be changed directly on the nested stack.

        Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

parent_id
  • (string) --

    For nested stacks--stacks created as resources for another stack--the stack ID of the direct parent of this stack. For the first level of nested stacks, the root stack is also the parent stack.

    For more information, see Working with Nested Stacks in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

role_arn
  • (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that is associated with the stack. During a stack operation, AWS CloudFormation uses this role's credentials to make calls on your behalf.

rollback_configuration
  • (dict) --

    The rollback triggers for AWS CloudFormation to monitor during stack creation and updating operations, and for the specified monitoring period afterwards.

    • RollbackTriggers (list) --

      The triggers to monitor during stack creation or update actions.

      By default, AWS CloudFormation saves the rollback triggers specified for a stack and applies them to any subsequent update operations for the stack, unless you specify otherwise. If you do specify rollback triggers for this parameter, those triggers replace any list of triggers previously specified for the stack. This means:

      • To use the rollback triggers previously specified for this stack, if any, don't specify this parameter.
      • To specify new or updated rollback triggers, you must specify all the triggers that you want used for this stack, even triggers you've specifed before (for example, when creating the stack or during a previous stack update). Any triggers that you don't include in the updated list of triggers are no longer applied to the stack.
      • To remove all currently specified triggers, specify an empty list for this parameter.

      If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

      • (dict) --

        A rollback trigger AWS CloudFormation monitors during creation and updating of stacks. If any of the alarms you specify goes to ALARM state during the stack operation or within the specified monitoring period afterwards, CloudFormation rolls back the entire stack operation.

        • Arn (string) --

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rollback trigger.

          If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

        • Type (string) --

          The resource type of the rollback trigger. Currently, AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm is the only supported resource type.

    • MonitoringTimeInMinutes (integer) --

      The amount of time, in minutes, during which CloudFormation should monitor all the rollback triggers after the stack creation or update operation deploys all necessary resources.

      The default is 0 minutes.

      If you specify a monitoring period but do not specify any rollback triggers, CloudFormation still waits the specified period of time before cleaning up old resources after update operations. You can use this monitoring period to perform any manual stack validation desired, and manually cancel the stack creation or update (using CancelUpdateStack , for example) as necessary.

      If you specify 0 for this parameter, CloudFormation still monitors the specified rollback triggers during stack creation and update operations. Then, for update operations, it begins disposing of old resources immediately once the operation completes.

root_id
  • (string) --

    For nested stacks--stacks created as resources for another stack--the stack ID of the the top-level stack to which the nested stack ultimately belongs.

    For more information, see Working with Nested Stacks in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

stack_id
  • (string) --

    Unique identifier of the stack.

stack_name
  • (string) --

    The name associated with the stack.

stack_status
  • (string) --

    Current status of the stack.

stack_status_reason
  • (string) --

    Success/failure message associated with the stack status.

tags
  • (list) --

    A list of Tag s that specify information about the stack.

    • (dict) --

      The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

      • Key (string) --

        Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .

      • Value (string) --

        Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.

timeout_in_minutes
  • (integer) --

    The amount of time within which stack creation should complete.

Actions

Actions call operations on resources. They may automatically handle the passing in of arguments set from identifiers and some attributes. For more information about actions refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

cancel_update(**kwargs)

Cancels an update on the specified stack. If the call completes successfully, the stack rolls back the update and reverts to the previous stack configuration.

Note

You can cancel only stacks that are in the UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS state.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = stack.cancel_update(
    ClientRequestToken='string'
)
Parameters
ClientRequestToken (string) -- A unique identifier for this CancelUpdateStack request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that AWS CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to cancel an update on a stack with the same name. You might retry CancelUpdateStack requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.
Returns
None
delete(**kwargs)

Deletes a specified stack. Once the call completes successfully, stack deletion starts. Deleted stacks do not show up in the DescribeStacks API if the deletion has been completed successfully.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = stack.delete(
    RetainResources=[
        'string',
    ],
    RoleARN='string',
    ClientRequestToken='string'
)
Parameters
  • RetainResources (list) --

    For stacks in the DELETE_FAILED state, a list of resource logical IDs that are associated with the resources you want to retain. During deletion, AWS CloudFormation deletes the stack but does not delete the retained resources.

    Retaining resources is useful when you cannot delete a resource, such as a non-empty S3 bucket, but you want to delete the stack.

    • (string) --
  • RoleARN (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that AWS CloudFormation assumes to delete the stack. AWS CloudFormation uses the role's credentials to make calls on your behalf.

    If you don't specify a value, AWS CloudFormation uses the role that was previously associated with the stack. If no role is available, AWS CloudFormation uses a temporary session that is generated from your user credentials.

  • ClientRequestToken (string) --

    A unique identifier for this DeleteStack request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that AWS CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to delete a stack with the same name. You might retry DeleteStack requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

    All events triggered by a given stack operation are assigned the same client request token, which you can use to track operations. For example, if you execute a CreateStack operation with the token token1 , then all the StackEvents generated by that operation will have ClientRequestToken set as token1 .

    In the console, stack operations display the client request token on the Events tab. Stack operations that are initiated from the console use the token format Console-StackOperation-ID , which helps you easily identify the stack operation . For example, if you create a stack using the console, each stack event would be assigned the same token in the following format: Console-CreateStack-7f59c3cf-00d2-40c7-b2ff-e75db0987002 .

Returns

None

get_available_subresources()

Returns a list of all the available sub-resources for this Resource.

Returns
A list containing the name of each sub-resource for this resource
Return type
list of str
load()

Calls CloudFormation.Client.describe_stacks() to update the attributes of the Stack resource. Note that the load and reload methods are the same method and can be used interchangeably.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

stack.load()
Returns
None
reload()

Calls CloudFormation.Client.describe_stacks() to update the attributes of the Stack resource. Note that the load and reload methods are the same method and can be used interchangeably.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

stack.reload()
Returns
None
update(**kwargs)

Updates a stack as specified in the template. After the call completes successfully, the stack update starts. You can check the status of the stack via the DescribeStacks action.

To get a copy of the template for an existing stack, you can use the GetTemplate action.

For more information about creating an update template, updating a stack, and monitoring the progress of the update, see Updating a Stack .

    Conditional: You must specify only one of the following parameters: TemplateBody , TemplateURL , or set the UsePreviousTemplate to true .

  • TemplateURL (string) --

    Location of file containing the template body. The URL must point to a template that is located in an Amazon S3 bucket. For more information, go to Template Anatomy in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

    Conditional: You must specify only one of the following parameters: TemplateBody , TemplateURL , or set the UsePreviousTemplate to true .

  • UsePreviousTemplate (boolean) --

    Reuse the existing template that is associated with the stack that you are updating.

    Conditional: You must specify only one of the following parameters: TemplateBody , TemplateURL , or set the UsePreviousTemplate to true .

  • StackPolicyDuringUpdateBody (string) --

    Structure containing the temporary overriding stack policy body. You can specify either the StackPolicyDuringUpdateBody or the StackPolicyDuringUpdateURL parameter, but not both.

    If you want to update protected resources, specify a temporary overriding stack policy during this update. If you do not specify a stack policy, the current policy that is associated with the stack will be used.

  • StackPolicyDuringUpdateURL (string) --

    Location of a file containing the temporary overriding stack policy. The URL must point to a policy (max size: 16KB) located in an S3 bucket in the same region as the stack. You can specify either the StackPolicyDuringUpdateBody or the StackPolicyDuringUpdateURL parameter, but not both.

    If you want to update protected resources, specify a temporary overriding stack policy during this update. If you do not specify a stack policy, the current policy that is associated with the stack will be used.

  • Parameters (list) --

    A list of Parameter structures that specify input parameters for the stack. For more information, see the Parameter data type.

    • (dict) --

      The Parameter data type.

      • ParameterKey (string) --

        The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

      • ParameterValue (string) --

        The input value associated with the parameter.

      • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

        During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

      • ResolvedValue (string) --

        Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

  • Capabilities (list) --

    In some cases, you must explicity acknowledge that your stack template contains certain capabilities in order for AWS CloudFormation to update the stack.

    • CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM Some stack templates might include resources that can affect permissions in your AWS account; for example, by creating new AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users. For those stacks, you must explicitly acknowledge this by specifying one of these capabilities. The following IAM resources require you to specify either the CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability.
      • If you have IAM resources, you can specify either capability.
      • If you have IAM resources with custom names, you must specify CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM .
      • If you don't specify either of these capabilities, AWS CloudFormation returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

    If your stack template contains these resources, we recommend that you review all permissions associated with them and edit their permissions if necessary.

    For more information, see Acknowledging IAM Resources in AWS CloudFormation Templates .

    • CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND Some template contain macros. Macros perform custom processing on templates; this can include simple actions like find-and-replace operations, all the way to extensive transformations of entire templates. Because of this, users typically create a change set from the processed template, so that they can review the changes resulting from the macros before actually updating the stack. If your stack template contains one or more macros, and you choose to update a stack directly from the processed template, without first reviewing the resulting changes in a change set, you must acknowledge this capability. This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by AWS CloudFormation. Change sets do not currently support nested stacks. If you want to update a stack from a stack template that contains macros and nested stacks, you must update the stack directly from the template using this capability.

    Warning

    You should only update stacks directly from a stack template that contains macros if you know what processing the macro performs. Each macro relies on an underlying Lambda service function for processing stack templates. Be aware that the Lambda function owner can update the function operation without AWS CloudFormation being notified.

    For more information, see Using AWS CloudFormation Macros to Perform Custom Processing on Templates .

    • (string) --
  • ResourceTypes (list) --

    The template resource types that you have permissions to work with for this update stack action, such as AWS::EC2::Instance , AWS::EC2::* , or Custom::MyCustomInstance .

    If the list of resource types doesn't include a resource that you're updating, the stack update fails. By default, AWS CloudFormation grants permissions to all resource types. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) uses this parameter for AWS CloudFormation-specific condition keys in IAM policies. For more information, see Controlling Access with AWS Identity and Access Management .

    • (string) --
  • RoleARN (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that AWS CloudFormation assumes to update the stack. AWS CloudFormation uses the role's credentials to make calls on your behalf. AWS CloudFormation always uses this role for all future operations on the stack. As long as users have permission to operate on the stack, AWS CloudFormation uses this role even if the users don't have permission to pass it. Ensure that the role grants least privilege.

    If you don't specify a value, AWS CloudFormation uses the role that was previously associated with the stack. If no role is available, AWS CloudFormation uses a temporary session that is generated from your user credentials.

  • RollbackConfiguration (dict) --

    The rollback triggers for AWS CloudFormation to monitor during stack creation and updating operations, and for the specified monitoring period afterwards.

    • RollbackTriggers (list) --

      The triggers to monitor during stack creation or update actions.

      By default, AWS CloudFormation saves the rollback triggers specified for a stack and applies them to any subsequent update operations for the stack, unless you specify otherwise. If you do specify rollback triggers for this parameter, those triggers replace any list of triggers previously specified for the stack. This means:

      • To use the rollback triggers previously specified for this stack, if any, don't specify this parameter.
      • To specify new or updated rollback triggers, you must specify all the triggers that you want used for this stack, even triggers you've specifed before (for example, when creating the stack or during a previous stack update). Any triggers that you don't include in the updated list of triggers are no longer applied to the stack.
      • To remove all currently specified triggers, specify an empty list for this parameter.

      If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

      • (dict) --

        A rollback trigger AWS CloudFormation monitors during creation and updating of stacks. If any of the alarms you specify goes to ALARM state during the stack operation or within the specified monitoring period afterwards, CloudFormation rolls back the entire stack operation.

        • Arn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rollback trigger.

          If a specified trigger is missing, the entire stack operation fails and is rolled back.

        • Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]

          The resource type of the rollback trigger. Currently, AWS::CloudWatch::Alarm is the only supported resource type.

    • MonitoringTimeInMinutes (integer) --

      The amount of time, in minutes, during which CloudFormation should monitor all the rollback triggers after the stack creation or update operation deploys all necessary resources.

      The default is 0 minutes.

      If you specify a monitoring period but do not specify any rollback triggers, CloudFormation still waits the specified period of time before cleaning up old resources after update operations. You can use this monitoring period to perform any manual stack validation desired, and manually cancel the stack creation or update (using CancelUpdateStack , for example) as necessary.

      If you specify 0 for this parameter, CloudFormation still monitors the specified rollback triggers during stack creation and update operations. Then, for update operations, it begins disposing of old resources immediately once the operation completes.

  • StackPolicyBody (string) --

    Structure containing a new stack policy body. You can specify either the StackPolicyBody or the StackPolicyURL parameter, but not both.

    You might update the stack policy, for example, in order to protect a new resource that you created during a stack update. If you do not specify a stack policy, the current policy that is associated with the stack is unchanged.

  • StackPolicyURL (string) --

    Location of a file containing the updated stack policy. The URL must point to a policy (max size: 16KB) located in an S3 bucket in the same region as the stack. You can specify either the StackPolicyBody or the StackPolicyURL parameter, but not both.

    You might update the stack policy, for example, in order to protect a new resource that you created during a stack update. If you do not specify a stack policy, the current policy that is associated with the stack is unchanged.

  • NotificationARNs (list) --

    Amazon Simple Notification Service topic Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) that AWS CloudFormation associates with the stack. Specify an empty list to remove all notification topics.

    • (string) --
  • Tags (list) --

    Key-value pairs to associate with this stack. AWS CloudFormation also propagates these tags to supported resources in the stack. You can specify a maximum number of 50 tags.

    If you don't specify this parameter, AWS CloudFormation doesn't modify the stack's tags. If you specify an empty value, AWS CloudFormation removes all associated tags.

    • (dict) --

      The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .
      • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
        Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.
  • ClientRequestToken (string) --

    A unique identifier for this UpdateStack request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that AWS CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to update a stack with the same name. You might retry UpdateStack requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

    All events triggered by a given stack operation are assigned the same client request token, which you can use to track operations. For example, if you execute a CreateStack operation with the token token1 , then all the StackEvents generated by that operation will have ClientRequestToken set as token1 .

    In the console, stack operations display the client request token on the Events tab. Stack operations that are initiated from the console use the token format Console-StackOperation-ID , which helps you easily identify the stack operation . For example, if you create a stack using the console, each stack event would be assigned the same token in the following format: Console-CreateStack-7f59c3cf-00d2-40c7-b2ff-e75db0987002 .

These are the resource's available attributes:

These are the resource's available sub-resources:

Identifiers

Identifiers are properties of a resource that are set upon instantation of the resource. For more information about identifiers refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

stack_name

(string) The StackResourceSummary's stack_name identifier. This must be set.

logical_id

(string) The StackResourceSummary's logical_id identifier. This must be set.

Attributes

Attributes provide access to the properties of a resource. Attributes are lazy-loaded the first time one is accessed via the load() method. For more information about attributes refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

drift_information
  • (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 : AWS 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 . If you performed an ContinueUpdateRollback operation on a stack, any resources included in ResourcesToSkip will also have a status of NOT_CHECKED . For more information on skipping resources during rollback operations, see Continue Rolling Back an Update in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
      • IN_SYNC : The resources's actual configuration matches its expected configuration.
    • LastCheckTimestamp (datetime) --

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

last_updated_timestamp
  • (datetime) --

    Time the status was updated.

logical_resource_id
  • (string) --

    The logical name of the resource specified in the template.

physical_resource_id
  • (string) --

    The name or unique identifier that corresponds to a physical instance ID of the resource.

resource_status
  • (string) --

    Current status of the resource.

resource_status_reason
  • (string) --

    Success/failure message associated with the resource.

resource_type

Sub-resources

Sub-resources are methods that create a new instance of a child resource. This resource's identifiers get passed along to the child. For more information about sub-resources refer to the Resources Introduction Guide.

Resource()

Creates a StackResource resource.:

stack_resource = stack_resource_summary.Resource()
Return type
CloudFormation.StackResource
Returns
A StackResource resource
