Required: Yes

Capabilities.member.N

The capabilities allowed in the stack.

Type: Array of strings

Valid Values: CAPABILITY_IAM | CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM | CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND

Required: No

ChangeSetId

The unique ID of the change set.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1.

Pattern: arn:[-a-zA-Z0-9:/]*

Required: No

DeletionTime

The time the stack was deleted.

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

Description

A user-defined description associated with the stack.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1024.

Required: No

DetailedStatus

The detailed status of the resource or stack. If CONFIGURATION_COMPLETE is present, the resource or resource configuration phase has completed and the stabilization of the resources is in progress. The stack sets CONFIGURATION_COMPLETE when all of the resources in the stack have reached that event. For more information, see Amazon CloudFormation stack deployment in the Amazon CloudFormation User Guide.

Type: String

Valid Values: CONFIGURATION_COMPLETE | VALIDATION_FAILED

Required: No

DisableRollback

Boolean to enable or disable rollback on stack creation failures:

  • true: disable rollback.

  • false: enable rollback.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

DriftInformation

Information about whether a stack's actual configuration differs, or has drifted, from its expected configuration, as defined in the stack template and any values specified as template parameters. For more information, see Detecting Unregulated Configuration Changes to Stacks and Resources.

Type: StackDriftInformation object

Required: No

EnableTerminationProtection

Whether termination protection is enabled for the stack.

For nested stacks, termination protection is set on the root stack and can't be changed directly on the nested stack. For more information, see Protecting a Stack From Being Deleted in the Amazon CloudFormation User Guide.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

LastUpdatedTime

The time the stack was last updated. This field will only be returned if the stack has been updated at least once.

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

NotificationARNs.member.N

Amazon SNS topic Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) to which stack related events are published.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Maximum number of 5 items.

Required: No

Outputs.member.N

A list of output structures.

Type: Array of Output objects

Required: No

Parameters.member.N

A list of Parameter structures.

Type: Array of Parameter objects

Required: No

ParentId

For nested stacks--stacks created as resources for another stack--the stack ID of the direct parent of this stack. For the first level of nested stacks, the root stack is also the parent stack.

For more information, see Working with Nested Stacks in the Amazon CloudFormation User Guide.

Type: String

Required: No

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

Type: Boolean

Required: No

RoleARN

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that's associated with the stack. During a stack operation, Amazon CloudFormation uses this role's credentials to make calls on your behalf.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20. Maximum length of 2048.

Required: No

RollbackConfiguration

The rollback triggers for Amazon CloudFormation to monitor during stack creation and updating operations, and for the specified monitoring period afterwards.

Type: RollbackConfiguration object

Required: No

RootId

For nested stacks--stacks created as resources for another stack--the stack ID of the top-level stack to which the nested stack ultimately belongs.

For more information, see Working with Nested Stacks in the Amazon CloudFormation User Guide.

Type: String

Required: No

StackId

Unique identifier of the stack.

Type: String

Required: No

StackStatusReason

Success/failure message associated with the stack status.

Type: String

Required: No

Tags.member.N

A list of Tags that specify information about the stack.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Array Members: Maximum number of 50 items.

Required: No

TimeoutInMinutes

The amount of time within which stack creation should complete.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1.

Required: No
