AWS CloudFormation enables you to create and manage AWS infrastructure deployments predictably and repeatedly. AWS CloudFormation helps you leverage AWS products such as Amazon EC2, EBS, Amazon SNS, ELB, and Auto Scaling to build highly-reliable, highly scalable, cost effective applications without worrying about creating and configuring the underlying AWS infrastructure.
With AWS CloudFormation, you declare all of your resources and dependencies in a template file. The template defines a collection of resources as a single unit called a stack. AWS CloudFormation creates and deletes all member resources of the stack together and manages all dependencies between the resources for you.
For more information about this product, go to the CloudFormation Product Page .
Amazon CloudFormation makes use of other AWS products. If you need additional technical information about a specific AWS product, you can find the product's technical documentation at http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/ .

|
| CancelUpdateStack(CancelUpdateStackRequest) | Cancels an update on the specified stack. If the call completes successfully, the stack will roll back the update and revert to the previous stack configuration. NOTE:Only stacks that are in the UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS state can be canceled. |
| CreateStack(CreateStackRequest) | Creates a stack as specified in the template. After the call completes successfully, the stack creation starts. You can check the status of the stack via the DescribeStacks API. NOTE: Currently, the limit for stacks is 20 stacks per account per region. |
| DeleteStack(DeleteStackRequest) | 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. |
| DescribeStackEvents(DescribeStackEventsRequest) | Returns all stack related events for a specified stack. For more information about a stack's event history, go to Stacks in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide. NOTE:Events are returned, even if the stack never existed or has been successfully deleted. |
| DescribeStackResource(DescribeStackResourceRequest) | Returns a description of the specified resource in the specified stack. For deleted stacks, DescribeStackResource returns resource information for up to 90 days after the stack has been deleted. |
| DescribeStackResources(DescribeStackResourcesRequest) | 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. |
| DescribeStacks(DescribeStacksRequest) | Returns the description for the specified stack; if no stack name was specified, then it returns the description for all the stacks created. |
| DescribeStacks()()()() | Returns the description for the specified stack; if no stack name was specified, then it returns the description for all the stacks created. |
| Dispose()()()() | Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. (Inherited from IDisposable.) |

|
| EstimateTemplateCost(EstimateTemplateCostRequest) | Returns the estimated monthly cost of a template. The return value is an AWS Simple Monthly Calculator URL with a query string that describes the resources required to run the template. |
| GetStackPolicy(GetStackPolicyRequest) | Returns the stack policy for a specified stack. If a stack doesn't have a policy, a null value is returned. |
| GetTemplate(GetTemplateRequest) | Returns the template body for a specified stack. You can get the template for running or deleted stacks. For deleted stacks, GetTemplate returns the template for up to 90 days after the stack has been deleted. NOTE: If the template does not exist, a ValidationError is returned. |
| ListStackResources(ListStackResourcesRequest) | Returns descriptions of all resources of the specified stack. For deleted stacks, ListStackResources returns resource information for up to 90 days after the stack has been deleted. |
| ListStacks(ListStacksRequest) | Returns the summary information for stacks whose status matches the specified StackStatusFilter. Summary information for stacks that have been deleted is kept for 90 days after the stack is deleted. If no StackStatusFilter is specified, summary information for all stacks is returned (including existing stacks and stacks that have been deleted). |
| ListStacks()()()() | Returns the summary information for stacks whose status matches the specified StackStatusFilter. Summary information for stacks that have been deleted is kept for 90 days after the stack is deleted. If no StackStatusFilter is specified, summary information for all stacks is returned (including existing stacks and stacks that have been deleted). |
| SetStackPolicy(SetStackPolicyRequest) | Sets a stack policy for a specified stack. |
| UpdateStack(UpdateStackRequest) | 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. Note: You cannot update AWS::S3::Bucket resources, for example, to add or modify tags. To get a copy of the template for an existing stack, you can use the GetTemplate action. Tags that were associated with this stack during creation time will still be associated with the stack after an UpdateStack operation. For more information about creating an update template, updating a stack, and monitoring the progress of the update, see Updating a Stack . |
| ValidateTemplate(ValidateTemplateRequest) | Validates a specified template. |
| ValidateTemplate()()()() | Validates a specified template. |
