AWS SDK for PHP 3.x

Client: Aws\CloudFormation\CloudFormationClient

Service ID: cloudformation

Version: 2010-05-15

This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the AWS CloudFormation (2010-05-15), and shows how to use the Aws\CloudFormation\CloudFormationClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2010-05-15 API version of the service.

Operation Summary

Each of the following operations can be created from a client using $client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.

You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */). You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).

Paginators

Paginators handle automatically iterating over paginated API results. Paginators are associated with specific API operations, and they accept the parameters that the corresponding API operation accepts. You can get a paginator from a client class using getPaginator($paginatorName, $operationParameters). This client supports the following paginators:

DescribeStackEvents
DescribeStackResources
DescribeStacks
ListExports
ListImports
ListStackResources
ListStacks

Waiters

Waiters allow you to poll a resource until it enters into a desired state. A waiter has a name used to describe what it does, and is associated with an API operation. When creating a waiter, you can provide the API operation parameters associated with the corresponding operation. Waiters can be accessed using the getWaiter($waiterName, $operationParameters) method of a client object. This client supports the following waiters:

Waiter name	API Operation	Delay	Max Attempts
StackExists	DescribeStacks	5	20
StackCreateComplete	DescribeStacks	30	120
StackDeleteComplete	DescribeStacks	30	120
StackUpdateComplete	DescribeStacks	30	120
ChangeSetCreateComplete	DescribeChangeSet	30	120

Operations

CancelUpdateStack

$result = $client->cancelUpdateStack([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->cancelUpdateStackAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

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

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->cancelUpdateStack([
    'ClientRequestToken' => '<string>',
    'StackName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members

ClientRequestToken

Type: 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.

StackName

Type: string

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

Result Syntax

[]

Result Details

The results for this operation are always empty.

Errors

TokenAlreadyExistsException:
A client request token already exists.

ContinueUpdateRollback

$result = $client->continueUpdateRollback([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->continueUpdateRollbackAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->continueUpdateRollback([
    'ClientRequestToken' => '<string>',
    'ResourcesToSkip' => ['<string>', ...],
    'RoleARN' => '<string>',
    'StackName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
]);

Parameter Details

Members

ClientRequestToken

Type: 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.

ResourcesToSkip

Type: Array of strings

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.

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.

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.

RoleARN

Type: 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.

StackName

Type: string

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

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).

Result Syntax

[]

Result Details

The results for this operation are always empty.

Errors

TokenAlreadyExistsException:
A client request token already exists.

CreateChangeSet

$result = $client->createChangeSet([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->createChangeSetAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->createChangeSet([
    'Capabilities' => ['<string>', ...],
    'ChangeSetName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED
    'ChangeSetType' => 'CREATE|UPDATE',
    'ClientToken' => '<string>',
    'Description' => '<string>',
    'NotificationARNs' => ['<string>', ...],

            'ResolvedValue' => '<string>',
            'UsePreviousValue' => true || false,
        ],
        // ...
    ],
    'ResourceTypes' => ['<string>', ...],

            ],
            // ...
        ],
    ],

Members

Capabilities

Type: Array of strings

A list of values that you must specify before AWS CloudFormation can update certain stacks. 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 their capabilities by specifying this parameter.

The only valid values are CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM. The following resources require you to specify this parameter: AWS::IAM::AccessKey, AWS::IAM::Group, AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile, AWS::IAM::Policy, AWS::IAM::Role, AWS::IAM::User, and AWS::IAM::UserToGroupAddition. If your stack template contains these resources, we recommend that you review all permissions associated with them and edit their permissions if necessary.

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 this parameter, this action returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

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

ChangeSetName

Type: string

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.

ChangeSetType

Type: 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 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.

ClientToken

Type: 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

Type: string

A description to help you identify this change set.

NotificationARNs

Type: Array of strings

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.

Parameters

Type: Array of Parameter structures

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

ResourceTypes

Type: Array of strings

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.

RoleARN

Type: 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.

RollbackConfiguration

Type: RollbackConfiguration structure

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

StackName

Type: string

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.

Tags

Type: Array of Tag structures

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.

TemplateBody

Type: 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

Type: 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

Type: boolean

Whether to reuse the template that is associated with the stack to create the change set.

Capabilities

Type: Array of strings

A list of values that you must specify before AWS CloudFormation can create certain stacks. 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 their capabilities by specifying this parameter.

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

ClientRequestToken

Type: 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.

DisableRollback

Type: 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

EnableTerminationProtection

Type: 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.

NotificationARNs

Type: Array of strings

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).

OnFailure

Type: 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

Parameters

Type: Array of Parameter structures

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

ResourceTypes

Type: Array of strings

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.

RoleARN

Type: 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.

RollbackConfiguration

Type: RollbackConfiguration structure

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

StackName

Type: string

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

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.

StackPolicyBody

Type: 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

Type: 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

Type: Array of Tag structures

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.

TemplateBody

Type: 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

Type: 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.

TimeoutInMinutes

Members

Accounts

Type: Array of strings

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

OperationId

Type: 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.

Preferences for how AWS CloudFormation performs this stack set operation.

ParameterOverrides

Type: Array of Parameter structures

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.

Regions

Type: Array of strings

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

StackSetName

Type: string

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

Members

AdministrationRoleARN

Type: 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.

Capabilities

Type: Array of strings

A list of values that you must specify before AWS CloudFormation can create certain stack sets. Some stack set 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 their capabilities by specifying this parameter.

The only valid values are CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM. The following resources require you to specify this parameter:

AWS::IAM::AccessKey
AWS::IAM::Group
AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile
AWS::IAM::Policy
AWS::IAM::Role
AWS::IAM::User
AWS::IAM::UserToGroupAddition

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

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 this parameter, this action returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

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

ClientRequestToken

Type: 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.

Description

Type: string

A description of the stack set. You can use the description to identify the stack set's purpose or other important information.

ExecutionRoleName

Type: 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.

Parameters

Type: Array of Parameter structures

The input parameters for the stack set template.

StackSetName

Type: string

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

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.

Tags

Type: Array of Tag structures

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.

TemplateBody

Type: 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

Type: 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.

DeleteChangeSet

$result = $client->deleteChangeSet([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->deleteChangeSetAsync([/* ... */]);

Deletes the specified change set. Deleting change sets ensures that no one executes the wrong change set.

If the call successfully completes, AWS CloudFormation successfully deleted the change set.

ClientRequestToken

Type: 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.

RetainResources

Type: Array of strings

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.

RoleARN

Type: 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.

Accounts

Type: Array of strings

The names of the AWS accounts that you want to delete stack instances for.

OperationId

Type: string

The unique identifier for this stack set operation.

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

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 can retry stack set operation requests to ensure that AWS CloudFormation successfully received them.

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

LogicalResourceId

Type: string

The logical name of the resource as specified in the template.

Default: There is no default value.

PhysicalResourceId

Type: string

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

For example, for an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance, PhysicalResourceId corresponds to the InstanceId. You can pass the EC2 InstanceId to DescribeStackResources to find which stack the instance belongs to and what other resources are part of the stack.

Required: Conditional. If you do not specify PhysicalResourceId, you must specify StackName.

Default: There is no default value.

StackName

Type: string

The name or the unique stack ID that is associated with the stack, which are not always interchangeable:

Running stacks: You can specify either the stack's name or its unique stack ID.
Deleted stacks: You must specify the unique stack ID.

Default: There is no default value.

Required: Conditional. If you do not specify StackName, you must specify PhysicalResourceId.

ExecuteChangeSet

$result = $client->executeChangeSet([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->executeChangeSetAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

Parameter Syntax

ChangeSetName

Type: string

The name or ARN of the change set that you want use to update the specified stack.

ClientRequestToken

Type: string

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

StackName

Type: string

If you specified the name of a change set, specify the stack name or ID (ARN) that is associated with the change set you want to execute.

Result Syntax

[]

Result Details

The results for this operation are always empty.

Parameter Details

Members

Capabilities

Type: Array of strings

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

ClientRequestToken

Type: 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.

NotificationARNs

Type: Array of strings

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.

Parameters

Type: Array of Parameter structures

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

ResourceTypes

Type: Array of strings

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.

RoleARN

Type: 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.

RollbackConfiguration

Type: RollbackConfiguration structure

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

StackName

Type: 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.

StackPolicyDuringUpdateBody

Type: 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

Type: 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.

StackPolicyURL

Type: 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.

Tags

Type: Array of Tag structures

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.

TemplateBody

Type: 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.)

UpdateStackInstances

$result = $client->updateStackInstances([/* ... */]);
$promise = $client->updateStackInstancesAsync([/* ... */]);

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.

Parameter Syntax

$result = $client->updateStackInstances([
    'Accounts' => ['<string>', ...], // REQUIRED
    'OperationId' => '<string>',
    'OperationPreferences' => [

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

OperationPreferences

Type: StackSetOperationPreferences structure

Preferences for how AWS CloudFormation performs this stack set operation.

ParameterOverrides

Type: Array of Parameter structures

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

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.

Regions

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 Define Permissions for Multiple Administrators in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

If you specify a customized administrator role, AWS CloudFormation uses that role to update the stack. If you do not specify a customized administrator 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.

Capabilities

Type: Array of strings

The only valid values are CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM. The following resources require you to specify this parameter:

AWS::IAM::AccessKey
AWS::IAM::Group
AWS::IAM::InstanceProfile
AWS::IAM::Policy
AWS::IAM::Role
AWS::IAM::User
AWS::IAM::UserToGroupAddition

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

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

Description

Type: string

A brief description of updates that you are making.

ExecutionRoleName

Type: 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

Type: string

The unique ID for this stack set operation.

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.

OperationPreferences

Type: StackSetOperationPreferences structure

Preferences for how AWS CloudFormation performs this stack set operation.

Parameters

Type: Array of Parameter structures

A list of input parameters for the stack set template.

Regions

Type: Array of strings

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.

StackSetName

Type: string

The name or unique ID of the stack set that you want to update.

Tags

Type: Array of Tag structures

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.

TemplateBody

Type: 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 only one of the following parameters: TemplateBody or TemplateURL—or set UsePreviousTemplate to true.

TemplateURL

Type: 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.

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

UsePreviousTemplate

Type: boolean

Use the existing template that's associated with the stack set that you're updating.

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

Shapes

AccountGateResult

Description

Structure that contains the results of the account gate function which AWS CloudFormation invokes, if present, before proceeding with a stack set operation in an account and region.

For each account and region, AWS CloudFormation lets you specify a Lamdba function that encapsulates any requirements that must be met before CloudFormation can proceed with a stack set operation in that account and region. CloudFormation invokes the function each time a stack set operation is requested for that account and region; if the function returns FAILED, CloudFormation cancels the operation in that account and region, and sets the stack set operation result status for that account and region to FAILED.

For more information, see Configuring a target account gate.

Members

Status

Type: string

The status of the account gate function.

SUCCEEDED: The account gate function has determined that the account and region passes any requirements for a stack set operation to occur. AWS CloudFormation proceeds with the stack operation in that account and region.
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.

ResourceChange

Description

The ResourceChange structure describes the resource and the action that AWS CloudFormation will perform on it if you execute this change set.

Members

Action

Type: 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).

Details

Type: Array of ResourceChangeDetail structures

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

LogicalResourceId

Type: string

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

PhysicalResourceId

Type: string

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

Replacement

Type: 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.

ResourceType

Type: string

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

Scope

Type: Array of strings

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.

ResourceChangeDetail

Description

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

Members

CausingEntity

Type: 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.

ChangeSource

Type: 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.

Evaluation

Type: 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.

Target

Type: ResourceTargetDefinition structure

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

ResourceTargetDefinition

Description

The field that AWS CloudFormation will change, such as the name of a resource's property, and whether the resource will be recreated.

Members

Attribute

Type: string

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

Name

Type: string

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

RequiresRecreation

Type: 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.

RollbackConfiguration

Description

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

Rollback triggers enable you to have AWS CloudFormation monitor the state of your application during stack creation and updating, and to roll back that operation if the application breaches the threshold of any of the alarms you've specified. For more information, see Monitor and Roll Back Stack Operations.

Members

MonitoringTimeInMinutes

Type: int

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.

RollbackTriggers

Type: Array of RollbackTrigger structures

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.

RollbackTrigger

Description

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.

Members

Arn

Type: 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.

Members

StackSetOperation

Description

The structure that contains information about a stack set operation.

Members

Action

Type: string

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.

AdministrationRoleARN

Type: 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.

CreationTimestamp

Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

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

Type: timestamp (string|DateTime or anything parsable by strtotime)

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.

StackSetId

Type: string

The ID of the stack set.

Status

Type: 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.

StackSetOperationPreferences

The user-specified preferences for how AWS CloudFormation performs a stack set operation.

For more information on maximum concurrent accounts and failure tolerance, see Stack set operation options.

Members

FailureToleranceCount

Type: int

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

Type: int

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

Type: int

The maximum number of accounts in which to perform this operation at one time. This is dependent on the value of FailureToleranceCount—MaxConcurrentCount 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

Type: int

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.

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

RegionOrder

Type: Array of strings

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

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.
