type StackSetName

string

param StackSetName

[REQUIRED]

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

type Accounts

list

param Accounts

[Self-managed permissions] The names of one or more AWS accounts that you want to create stack instances in the specified Region(s) for.

You can specify Accounts or DeploymentTargets , but not both.

  • (string) --

type DeploymentTargets

dict

param DeploymentTargets

[Service-managed permissions] The AWS Organizations accounts for which to create stack instances in the specified Regions.

You can specify Accounts or DeploymentTargets , but not both.

  • Accounts (list) --

    The names of one or more AWS accounts for which you want to deploy stack set updates.

    • (string) --

  • OrganizationalUnitIds (list) --

    The organization root ID or organizational unit (OU) IDs to which StackSets deploys.

    • (string) --

type Regions

list

param Regions

[REQUIRED]

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

  • (string) --

type ParameterOverrides

list

param ParameterOverrides

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.

  • (dict) --

    The Parameter data type.

    • ParameterKey (string) --

      The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

    • ParameterValue (string) --

      The input value associated with the parameter.

    • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

      During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

    • ResolvedValue (string) --

      Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for SSMparameter types in the template.

type OperationPreferences

dict

param OperationPreferences

Preferences for how AWS CloudFormation performs this stack set operation.

  • RegionOrder (list) --

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

    • (string) --

  • FailureToleranceCount (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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.

    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.

type OperationId

string

param OperationId

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 .

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

type CallAs

string

param CallAs

[Service-managed permissions] Specifies whether you are acting as an account administrator in the organization's management account or as a delegated administrator in a member account.

By default, SELF is specified. Use SELF for stack sets with self-managed permissions.

  • If you are signed in to the management account, specify SELF .

  • If you are signed in to a delegated administrator account, specify DELEGATED_ADMIN . Your AWS account must be registered as a delegated administrator in the management account. For more information, see Register a delegated administrator in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

type StackSetName

string

param StackSetName

[REQUIRED]

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

Note

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.

type Description

string

param Description

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

type TemplateBody

string

param TemplateBody

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.

type TemplateURL

string

param TemplateURL

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 or a Systems Manager document. 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.

type Parameters

list

param Parameters

The input parameters for the stack set template.

  • (dict) --

    The Parameter data type.

    • ParameterKey (string) --

      The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

    • ParameterValue (string) --

      The input value associated with the parameter.

    • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

      During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

    • ResolvedValue (string) --

      Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for SSMparameter types in the template.

type Capabilities

list

param Capabilities

In some cases, you must explicitly acknowledge that your stack set template contains certain capabilities in order for AWS CloudFormation to create the stack set and related stack instances.

  • CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM 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 stack sets, you must explicitly acknowledge this by specifying one of these capabilities. The following IAM resources require you to specify either the CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability.

    • 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 either of these capabilities, AWS CloudFormation returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

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

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

  • CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND Some templates contain macros. If your stack template contains one or more macros, and you choose to create a stack directly from the processed template, without first reviewing the resulting changes in a change set, you must acknowledge this capability. For more information, see Using AWS CloudFormation Macros to Perform Custom Processing on Templates.

Note

Stack sets do not currently support macros in stack templates. (This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by AWS CloudFormation.) Even if you specify this capability, if you include a macro in your template the stack set operation will fail.

  • (string) --

type Tags

list

param Tags

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.

  • (dict) --

    The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

    • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .

    • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.

type AdministrationRoleARN

string

param AdministrationRoleARN

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 .

type ExecutionRoleName

string

param ExecutionRoleName

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.

type PermissionModel

string

param PermissionModel

Describes how the IAM roles required for stack set operations are created. By default, SELF-MANAGED is specified.

type AutoDeployment

dict

param AutoDeployment

Describes whether StackSets automatically deploys to AWS Organizations accounts that are added to the target organization or organizational unit (OU). Specify only if PermissionModel is SERVICE_MANAGED .

  • Enabled (boolean) --

    If set to true , StackSets automatically deploys additional stack instances to AWS Organizations accounts that are added to a target organization or organizational unit (OU) in the specified Regions. If an account is removed from a target organization or OU, StackSets deletes stack instances from the account in the specified Regions.

  • RetainStacksOnAccountRemoval (boolean) --

    If set to true , stack resources are retained when an account is removed from a target organization or OU. If set to false , stack resources are deleted. Specify only if Enabled is set to True .

type CallAs

string

param CallAs

[Service-managed permissions] Specifies whether you are acting as an account administrator in the organization's management account or as a delegated administrator in a member account.

By default, SELF is specified. Use SELF for stack sets with self-managed permissions.

  • To create a stack set with service-managed permissions while signed in to the management account, specify SELF .

  • To create a stack set with service-managed permissions while signed in to a delegated administrator account, specify DELEGATED_ADMIN . Your AWS account must be registered as a delegated admin in the management account. For more information, see Register a delegated administrator in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

Stack sets with service-managed permissions are created in the management account, including stack sets that are created by delegated administrators.

type ClientRequestToken

string

param ClientRequestToken

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.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

        • DRIFTED : The stack differs from the expected template and parameter configuration of the stack set to which it belongs. A stack instance is considered to have drifted if one or more of the resources in the associated stack have drifted.

        • NOT_CHECKED : AWS CloudFormation has not checked if the stack instance differs from its expected stack set configuration.

        • IN_SYNC : The stack instance's actual configuration matches its expected stack set configuration.

        • UNKNOWN : This value is reserved for future use.

      • LastDriftCheckTimestamp (datetime) --

        Most recent time when CloudFormation performed a drift detection operation on the stack instance. This value will be NULL for any stack instance on which drift detection has not yet been performed.

        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.

          Conditional: You must specify either FailureToleranceCount or FailureTolerancePercentage (but not both).

        • FailureTolerancePercentage (integer) --

          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 (integer) --

          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.

DetectStackSetDrift (updated) Link ¶

{'CallAs': 'SELF | DELEGATED_ADMIN'}

Detect drift on a stack set. When CloudFormation performs drift detection on a stack set, it performs drift detection on the stack associated with each stack instance in the stack set. For more information, see How CloudFormation Performs Drift Detection on a Stack Set.

DetectStackSetDrift returns the OperationId of the stack set 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 stack set, as well as 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 stack set. (Information about drift operations that are in progress is not included.)

  • Use ListStackInstances to return a list of stack instances belonging to the stack set, 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.

For more information on performing a drift detection operation on a stack set, see Detecting Unmanaged Changes in Stack Sets.

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

To stop a drift detection stack set operation, use StopStackSetOperation .

type OperationPreferences

dict

param OperationPreferences

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.

  • RegionOrder (list) --

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

    • (string) --

  • FailureToleranceCount (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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.

    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.

        • Status (string) --

          The overall 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.

UpdateStackInstances (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'CallAs': 'SELF | DELEGATED_ADMIN'}

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 .

You can specify Accounts or DeploymentTargets , but not both.

  • (string) --

type DeploymentTargets

dict

param DeploymentTargets

[Service-managed permissions] The AWS Organizations accounts for which you want to update parameter values for stack instances. If your update targets OUs, the overridden parameter values only apply to the accounts that are currently in the target OUs and their child OUs. Accounts added to the target OUs and their child OUs in the future won't use the overridden values.

You can specify Accounts or DeploymentTargets , but not both.

  • Accounts (list) --

    The names of one or more AWS accounts for which you want to deploy stack set updates.

    • (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The names of one or more Regions in which you want to update parameter values for stack instances. The overridden parameter values will be applied to all stack instances in the specified accounts and Regions.

  • (string) --

type ParameterOverrides

list

param ParameterOverrides

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

  • (dict) --

    The Parameter data type.

    • ParameterKey (string) --

      The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

    • ParameterValue (string) --

      The input value associated with the parameter.

    • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

      During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

    • ResolvedValue (string) --

      Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for SSMparameter types in the template.

type OperationPreferences

dict

param OperationPreferences

Preferences for how AWS CloudFormation performs this stack set operation.

  • RegionOrder (list) --

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

    • (string) --

  • FailureToleranceCount (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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.

    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.

type OperationId

string

param OperationId

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.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

type CallAs

string

param CallAs

[Service-managed permissions] Specifies whether you are acting as an account administrator in the organization's management account or as a delegated administrator in a member account.

By default, SELF is specified. Use SELF for stack sets with self-managed permissions.

  • If you are signed in to the management account, specify SELF .

type StackSetName

string

param StackSetName

[REQUIRED]

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

string

param Description

A brief description of updates that you are making.

type TemplateBody

string

param TemplateBody

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.

type TemplateURL

string

param TemplateURL

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 or a Systems Manager document. For more information, see Template Anatomy in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

type UsePreviousTemplate

boolean

param UsePreviousTemplate

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.

type Parameters

list

param Parameters

A list of input parameters for the stack set template.

  • (dict) --

    The Parameter data type.

    • ParameterKey (string) --

      The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, AWS CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

    • ParameterValue (string) --

      The input value associated with the parameter.

    • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

      During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

    • ResolvedValue (string) --

      Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for SSMparameter types in the template.

type Capabilities

list

param Capabilities

In some cases, you must explicitly acknowledge that your stack template contains certain capabilities in order for AWS CloudFormation to update the stack set and its associated stack instances.

  • CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM 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 sets, you must explicitly acknowledge this by specifying one of these capabilities. The following IAM resources require you to specify either the CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability.

    • 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 either of these capabilities, AWS CloudFormation returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

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

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

  • CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND Some templates contain macros. If your stack template contains one or more macros, and you choose to update a stack directly from the processed template, without first reviewing the resulting changes in a change set, you must acknowledge this capability. For more information, see Using AWS CloudFormation Macros to Perform Custom Processing on Templates.

Warning

Stack sets do not currently support macros in stack templates. (This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by AWS CloudFormation.) Even if you specify this capability, if you include a macro in your template the stack set operation will fail.

  • (string) --

type Tags

list

param Tags

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. You can specify a maximum number of 50 tags.

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.

  • (dict) --

    The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an AWS CloudFormation stack.

    • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) have the reserved prefix: aws: .

    • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.

type OperationPreferences

dict

param OperationPreferences

Preferences for how AWS CloudFormation performs this stack set operation.

  • RegionOrder (list) --

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

    • (string) --

  • FailureToleranceCount (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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 (integer) --

    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.

    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.

type AdministrationRoleARN

string

param AdministrationRoleARN

The Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the IAM role to use to update 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 Granting Permissions for Stack Set Operations in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide .

If you specified a customized administrator role when you created the stack set, you must specify a customized administrator role, even if it is the same customized administrator role used with this stack set previously.

type ExecutionRoleName

string

param ExecutionRoleName

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.

type DeploymentTargets

dict

param DeploymentTargets

[Service-managed permissions] The AWS Organizations accounts in which to update associated stack instances.

To update all the stack instances associated with this stack set, do not specify DeploymentTargets or Regions .

If the stack set update includes changes to the template (that is, if TemplateBody or TemplateURL is specified), or the Parameters , AWS CloudFormation marks all stack instances with a status of OUTDATED prior to updating the stack instances in the specified accounts and Regions. If the stack set update does not include changes to the template or parameters, AWS CloudFormation updates the stack instances in the specified accounts and Regions, while leaving all other stack instances with their existing stack instance status.

  • Accounts (list) --

    The names of one or more AWS accounts for which you want to deploy stack set updates.

    • (string) --

  • OrganizationalUnitIds (list) --

    The organization root ID or organizational unit (OU) IDs to which StackSets deploys.

    • (string) --

type PermissionModel

string

param PermissionModel

Describes how the IAM roles required for stack set operations are created. You cannot modify PermissionModel if there are stack instances associated with your stack set.

type AutoDeployment

dict

param AutoDeployment

[Service-managed permissions] Describes whether StackSets automatically deploys to AWS Organizations accounts that are added to a target organization or organizational unit (OU).

If you specify AutoDeployment , do not specify DeploymentTargets or Regions .

  • Enabled (boolean) --

    If set to true , StackSets automatically deploys additional stack instances to AWS Organizations accounts that are added to a target organization or organizational unit (OU) in the specified Regions. If an account is removed from a target organization or OU, StackSets deletes stack instances from the account in the specified Regions.

  • RetainStacksOnAccountRemoval (boolean) --

    If set to true , stack resources are retained when an account is removed from a target organization or OU. If set to false , stack resources are deleted. Specify only if Enabled is set to True .

type OperationId

string

param OperationId

The unique ID 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, AWS CloudFormation generates one automatically.

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

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

type Accounts

list

param Accounts

[Self-managed permissions] The accounts in which to update associated stack instances. If you specify accounts, you must also specify the Regions 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.

If the stack set update includes changes to the template (that is, if the TemplateBody or TemplateURL properties are specified), or the Parameters property, AWS CloudFormation marks all stack instances with a status of OUTDATED prior to updating the stack instances in the specified accounts and Regions. If the stack set update does not include changes to the template or parameters, AWS CloudFormation updates the stack instances in the specified accounts and Regions, while leaving all other stack instances with their existing stack instance status.

  • (string) --

type Regions

list

param Regions

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.

If the stack set update includes changes to the template (that is, if the TemplateBody or TemplateURL properties are specified), or the Parameters property, AWS CloudFormation marks all stack instances with a status of OUTDATED prior to updating the stack instances in the specified accounts and Regions. If the stack set update does not include changes to the template or parameters, AWS CloudFormation updates the stack instances in the specified accounts and Regions, while leaving all other stack instances with their existing stack instance status.

  • (string) --

type CallAs

string

param CallAs

[Service-managed permissions] Specifies whether you are acting as an account administrator in the organization's management account or as a delegated administrator in a member account.

By default, SELF is specified. Use SELF for stack sets with self-managed permissions.

  • If you are signed in to the management account, specify SELF .
