Execute Change Set

cloudformation_execute_change_set R Documentation

Updates a stack using the input information that was provided when the specified change set was created

Description

Updates a stack using the input information that was provided when the specified change set was created. After the call successfully completes, CloudFormation starts updating the stack. Use the describe_stacks action to view the status of the update.

When you execute a change set, CloudFormation deletes all other change sets associated with the stack because they aren't valid for the updated stack.

If a stack policy is associated with the stack, CloudFormation enforces the policy during the update. You can't specify a temporary stack policy that overrides the current policy.

To create a change set for the entire stack hierarchy, IncludeNestedStacks must have been set to True.

Usage

cloudformation_execute_change_set(ChangeSetName, StackName,
  ClientRequestToken, DisableRollback, RetainExceptOnCreate)

Arguments

ChangeSetName

[required] The name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the change set that you want use to update the specified stack.

StackName

If you specified the name of a change set, specify the stack name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that's associated with the change set you want to execute.

ClientRequestToken

A unique identifier for this execute_change_set request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to execute a change set to update a stack with the same name. You might retry execute_change_set requests to ensure that CloudFormation successfully received them.

DisableRollback

Preserves the state of previously provisioned resources when an operation fails. This parameter can't be specified when the OnStackFailure parameter to the create_change_set API operation was specified.

  • True - if the stack creation fails, do nothing. This is equivalent to specifying DO_NOTHING for the OnStackFailure parameter to the create_change_set API operation.

  • False - if the stack creation fails, roll back the stack. This is equivalent to specifying ROLLBACK for the OnStackFailure parameter to the create_change_set API operation.

Default: True

RetainExceptOnCreate

When set to true, newly created resources are deleted when the operation rolls back. This includes newly created resources marked with a deletion policy of Retain.

Default: false

Value

An empty list.
