list-change-sets

Description

Returns the ID and status of each active change set for a stack. For example, CloudFormation lists change sets that are in the CREATE_IN_PROGRESS or CREATE_PENDING state.

See also: AWS API Documentation

list-change-sets is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: Summaries

[--cli-connect-timeout <value>]

Options

--stack-name (string)

The name or the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the stack for which you want to list change sets.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To list change sets

The following list-change-sets example displays a list of the pending change sets for the specified stack.

aws cloudformation list-change-sets \
   --stack-name my-stack

Output:

{
    "Summaries": [
        {
            "StackId": "arn:aws:cloudformation:us-west-2:123456789012:stack/my-stack/d0a825a0-e4cd-xmpl-b9fb-061c69e99204",
            "StackName": "my-stack",
            "ChangeSetId": "arn:aws:cloudformation:us-west-2:123456789012:changeSet/my-change-set/70160340-7914-xmpl-bcbf-128a1fa78b5d",
            "ChangeSetName": "my-change-set",
            "ExecutionStatus": "AVAILABLE",
            "Status": "CREATE_COMPLETE",
            "CreationTime": "2019-10-02T05:38:54.297Z"
        }
    ]
}

Output

Summaries -> (list)

A list of ChangeSetSummary structures that provides the ID and status of each change set for the specified stack.

(structure)

The ChangeSetSummary structure describes a change set, its status, and the stack with which it's associated.

StackId -> (string)

The ID of the stack with which the change set is associated.

StackName -> (string)

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

ChangeSetId -> (string)

The ID of the change set.

ChangeSetName -> (string)

The name of the change set.

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 CloudFormation is still creating it or in an OBSOLETE state because the stack was already updated.

Status -> (string)

The state 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 change set is in the FAILED state, CloudFormation shows the error message.

CreationTime -> (timestamp)

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

Description -> (string)

Descriptive information about the change set.

IncludeNestedStacks -> (boolean)

Specifies the current setting of IncludeNestedStacks for the change set.

ParentChangeSetId -> (string)

The parent change set ID.

RootChangeSetId -> (string)

The root change set ID.

ImportExistingResources -> (boolean)

Indicates if the change set imports resources that already exist.

NextToken -> (string)

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