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 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 CloudFormation User Guide.

Conditional: You must specify either the TemplateBody or the TemplateURL parameter, but not both.

type StackId

string

param StackId

The stack ID you are importing into a new stack set. Specify the Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the stack.

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, 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 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 Amazon Web Services account; for example, by creating new 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, 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 CloudFormation Templates.

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

Warning

Stack sets with service-managed permissions do not currently support the use of macros in templates. (This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by CloudFormation.) Even if you specify this capability for a stack set with service-managed permissions, if you reference 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. 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, 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 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 (Amazon Web Services) 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 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, 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 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 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 Amazon Web Services account must be registered as a delegated admin in the management account. For more information, see Register a delegated administrator in the 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 CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to create another stack set with the same name. You might retry CreateStackSet requests to ensure that 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 ManagedExecution

dict

param ManagedExecution

Describes whether StackSets performs non-conflicting operations concurrently and queues conflicting operations.

  • Active (boolean) --

    When true , StackSets performs non-conflicting operations concurrently and queues conflicting operations. After conflicting operations finish, StackSets starts queued operations in request order.

    Note

    If there are already running or queued operations, StackSets queues all incoming operations even if they are non-conflicting.

    You can't modify your stack set's execution configuration while there are running or queued operations for that stack set.

    When false (default), StackSets performs one operation at a time in request order.

            You can't modify your stack set's execution configuration while there are running or queued operations for that stack set.

            When false (default), StackSets performs one operation at a time in request order.

    • NextToken (string) --

      If the request doesn't return all of the remaining results, NextToken is set to a token. To retrieve the next set of results, call ListStackInstances again and assign that token to the request object's NextToken parameter. If the request returns all results, NextToken is set to null .

UpdateStackSet (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'ManagedExecution': {'Active': 'boolean'}}

Updates the stack set, and associated stack instances in the specified accounts and Regions.

Even if the stack set operation created by updating the stack set fails (completely or partially, below or above a specified failure tolerance), the stack set is updated with your changes. Subsequent CreateStackInstances calls on the specified stack set use the updated stack set.

type StackSetName

string

param StackSetName

[REQUIRED]

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

type Description

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 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 CloudFormation User Guide.

Conditional: You must specify only one of the following parameters: TemplateBody or TemplateURL —or set UsePreviousTemplate to true.

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, 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 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 Amazon Web Services account; for example, by creating new 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, 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 CloudFormation Templates.

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

Warning

Stack sets with service-managed permissions do not currently support the use of macros in templates. (This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by CloudFormation.) Even if you specify this capability for a stack set with service-managed permissions, if you reference 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. 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, 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, CloudFormation removes all currently associated tags.

If you specify new tags as part of an UpdateStackSet action, 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, 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 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 (Amazon Web Services) 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 CloudFormation performs this stack set operation.

  • RegionConcurrencyType (string) --

    The concurrency type of deploying StackSets operations in Regions, could be in parallel or one Region at a time.

  • 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 CloudFormation stops the operation in that Region. If the operation is stopped in a Region, CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent Regions.

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

    By default, 0 is specified.

  • FailureTolerancePercentage (integer) --

    The percentage of accounts, per Region, for which this stack operation can fail before CloudFormation stops the operation in that Region. If the operation is stopped in a Region, CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent Regions.

    When calculating the number of accounts based on the specified percentage, CloudFormation rounds down to the next whole number.

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

    By default, 0 is specified.

  • 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.

    By default, 1 is specified.

  • 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, 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.

    By default, 1 is specified.

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 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, 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, CloudFormation uses that role to update the stack. If you do not specify a customized execution role, 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 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 , 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, 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 Amazon Web Services accounts for which you want to deploy stack set updates.

    • (string) --

  • AccountsUrl (string) --

    Returns the value of the AccountsUrl property.

  • 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 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 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 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 CloudFormation successfully received them.

If you don't specify an operation ID, 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, 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, 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, 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, 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 .

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

type ManagedExecution

dict

param ManagedExecution

Describes whether StackSets performs non-conflicting operations concurrently and queues conflicting operations.

  • Active (boolean) --

    When true , StackSets performs non-conflicting operations concurrently and queues conflicting operations. After conflicting operations finish, StackSets starts queued operations in request order.

    Note

    If there are already running or queued operations, StackSets queues all incoming operations even if they are non-conflicting.

    You can't modify your stack set's execution configuration while there are running or queued operations for that stack set.

    When false (default), StackSets performs one operation at a time in request order.
