detectStackSetDrift

Detect drift on a StackSet. When CloudFormation performs drift detection on a StackSet, it performs drift detection on the stack associated with each stack instance in the StackSet. For more information, see Performing drift detection on CloudFormation StackSets.

DetectStackSetDrift returns the OperationId of the StackSet drift detection operation. Use this operation id with DescribeStackSetOperation to monitor the progress of the drift detection operation. The drift detection operation may take some time, depending on the number of stack instances included in the StackSet, in addition to the number of resources included in each stack.

Once the operation has completed, use the following actions to return drift information:

• Use DescribeStackSet to return detailed information about the stack set, including detailed information about the last completed drift operation performed on the StackSet. (Information about drift operations that are in progress isn't included.)

• Use ListStackInstances to return a list of stack instances belonging to the StackSet, including the drift status and last drift time checked of each instance.

• Use DescribeStackInstance to return detailed information about a specific stack instance, including its drift status and last drift time checked.

You can only run a single drift detection operation on a given StackSet at one time.

To stop a drift detection StackSet operation, use StopStackSetOperation.
