CfnStack

class aws_cdk.CfnStack(scope, id, *, notification_arns=None, parameters=None, tags=None, template_url=None, timeout_in_minutes=None)

Bases: CfnResource

The AWS::CloudFormation::Stack resource nests a stack as a resource in a top-level template.

You can add output values from a nested stack within the containing template. You use the GetAtt function with the nested stack’s logical name and the name of the output value in the nested stack in the format Outputs. *NestedStackOutputName* . .. epigraph:

We strongly recommend that updates to nested stacks are run from the parent stack.

When you apply template changes to update a top-level stack, CloudFormation updates the top-level stack and initiates an update to its nested stacks. CloudFormation updates the resources of modified nested stacks, but doesn’t update the resources of unmodified nested stacks. For more information, see CloudFormation stack updates . .. epigraph:

You must acknowledge IAM capabilities for nested stacks that contain IAM resources. Also, verify that you have cancel update stack permissions, which is required if an update rolls back. For more information about IAM and CloudFormation , see `Controlling access with AWS Identity and Access Management <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-iam-template.html>`_ . > A subset of ``AWS::CloudFormation::Stack`` resource type properties listed below are available to customers using AWS CloudFormation , AWS CDK , and AWS Cloud Control API to configure.

- ``NotificationARNs``
- ``Parameters``
- ``Tags``
- ``TemplateURL``
- ``TimeoutInMinutes``

These properties can be configured only when using AWS Cloud Control API . This is because the below properties are set by the parent stack, and thus cannot be configured using AWS CloudFormation or AWS CDK but only AWS Cloud Control API .

- ``Capabilities``
- ``Description``
- ``DisableRollback``
- ``EnableTerminationProtection``
- ``RoleARN``
- ``StackName``
- ``StackPolicyBody``
- ``StackPolicyURL``
- ``StackStatusReason``
- ``TemplateBody``

Customers that configure ``AWS::CloudFormation::Stack`` using AWS CloudFormation and AWS CDK can do so for nesting a CloudFormation stack as a resource in their top-level template.

These read-only properties can be accessed only when using AWS Cloud Control API .

- ``ChangeSetId``
- ``CreationTime``
- ``LastUpdateTime``
- ``Outputs``
- ``ParentId``
- ``RootId``
- ``StackId``
- ``StackStatus``

ExampleMetadata:

fixture=_generated

Example:

# The code below shows an example of how to instantiate this type.
# The values are placeholders you should change.
import aws_cdk as cdk

cfn_stack = cdk.CfnStack(self, "MyCfnStack",
    notification_arns=["notificationArns"],
    parameters={
        "parameters_key": "parameters"
    },
    tags=[cdk.CfnTag(
        key="key",
        value="value"
    )],
    template_url="templateUrl",
    timeout_in_minutes=123
)
Parameters:
  • scope (Construct) – Scope in which this resource is defined.

  • id (str) – Construct identifier for this resource (unique in its scope).

  • notification_arns (Optional[Sequence[str]]) – The Amazon SNS topic ARNs to publish stack related events. You can find your Amazon SNS topic ARNs using the Amazon SNS console or your Command Line Interface (CLI).

  • parameters (Union[IResolvable, Mapping[str, str], None]) – The set value pairs that represent the parameters passed to CloudFormation when this nested stack is created. Each parameter has a name corresponding to a parameter defined in the embedded template and a value representing the value that you want to set for the parameter. .. epigraph:: If you use the Ref function to pass a parameter value to a nested stack, comma-delimited list parameters must be of type String . In other words, you can’t pass values that are of type CommaDelimitedList to nested stacks. Conditional. Required if the nested stack requires input parameters. Whether an update causes interruptions depends on the resources that are being updated. An update never causes a nested stack to be replaced.

  • tags (Optional[Sequence[Union[CfnTag, Dict[str, Any]]]]) – Key-value pairs to associate with this stack. CloudFormation also propagates these tags to the resources created in the stack. A maximum number of 50 tags can be specified.

  • template_url (Optional[str]) – Location of file containing the template body. The URL must point to a template (max size: 460,800 bytes) that’s located in an Amazon S3 bucket. For more information, see Template anatomy . Whether an update causes interruptions depends on the resources that are being updated. An update never causes a nested stack to be replaced.

  • timeout_in_minutes (Union[int, float, None]) – The length of time, in minutes, that CloudFormation waits for the nested stack to reach the CREATE_COMPLETE state. The default is no timeout. When CloudFormation detects that the nested stack has reached the CREATE_COMPLETE state, it marks the nested stack resource as CREATE_COMPLETE in the parent stack and resumes creating the parent stack. If the timeout period expires before the nested stack reaches CREATE_COMPLETE , CloudFormation marks the nested stack as failed and rolls back both the nested stack and parent stack. Updates aren’t supported.

Methods

add_deletion_override(path)

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

Parameters:

path (str) – The path of the value to delete.

Return type:

None

add_dependency(target)

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

Parameters:

target (CfnResource) –

Return type:

None

add_depends_on(target)

(deprecated) Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

Parameters:

target (CfnResource) –

Deprecated:

use addDependency

Stability:

deprecated

Return type:

None

add_metadata(key, value)

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Parameters:
  • key (str) –

  • value (Any) –

See:

Return type:

None

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.

add_override(path, value)

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with “Properties.” (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example:

cfn_resource.add_override("Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes", ["myattribute"])
cfn_resource.add_override("Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType", "INCLUDE")

would add the overrides Example:

"Properties": {
  "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
    {
      "Projection": {
        "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
        ...
      }
      ...
    },
    {
      "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
      ...
    },
  ]
  ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

Parameters:
  • path (str) –

    • The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types. Any intermediate keys will be created as needed.

  • value (Any) –

    • The value. Could be primitive or complex.

Return type:

None

add_property_deletion_override(property_path)

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

Parameters:

property_path (str) – The path to the property.

Return type:

None

add_property_override(property_path, value)

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

Parameters:
  • property_path (str) – The path of the property.

  • value (Any) – The value.

Return type:

None

apply_removal_policy(policy=None, *, apply_to_update_replace_policy=None, default=None)

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you’ve removed it from the CDK application or because you’ve made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN). In some cases, a snapshot can be taken of the resource prior to deletion (RemovalPolicy.SNAPSHOT). A list of resources that support this policy can be found in the following link:

Parameters:
  • policy (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) –

  • apply_to_update_replace_policy (Optional[bool]) – Apply the same deletion policy to the resource’s “UpdateReplacePolicy”. Default: true

  • default (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) – The default policy to apply in case the removal policy is not defined. Default: - Default value is resource specific. To determine the default value for a resource, please consult that specific resource’s documentation.

See:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-attribute-deletionpolicy.html#aws-attribute-deletionpolicy-options

Return type:

None

get_att(attribute_name, type_hint=None)

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

Parameters:
  • attribute_name (str) – The name of the attribute.

  • type_hint (Optional[ResolutionTypeHint]) –

Return type:

Reference

get_metadata(key)

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Parameters:

key (str) –

See:

Return type:

Any

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.

inspect(inspector)

Static Methods

classmethod is_cfn_element(x)

Returns true if a construct is a stack element (i.e. part of the synthesized cloudformation template).

Uses duck-typing instead of instanceof to allow stack elements from different versions of this library to be included in the same stack.

Parameters:

x (Any) –

Return type:

bool

Returns:

The construct as a stack element or undefined if it is not a stack element.

classmethod is_cfn_resource(x)

Check whether the given object is a CfnResource.

Parameters:

x (Any) –

Return type:

bool

classmethod is_construct(x)

Checks if x is a construct.

Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

Parameters:

x (Any) – Any object.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

true if x is an object created from a class which extends Construct.
