Update Amazon CloudFormation StackSets

You can update your StackSet using either the CloudFormation console or the Amazon CLI.

To add and remove accounts and Regions from a StackSet, see Add stacks to StackSets and Delete stacks from StackSets. To override parameter values for a stack, see Override parameters on stacks.

Update your StackSet (console)

To update a StackSet

Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon CloudFormation console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/cloudformation.
On the navigation bar at the top of the screen, choose the Amazon Web Services Region you created the StackSet in.
From the navigation pane, choose StackSets.
On the StackSets page, select the StackSet you want to update.
With the StackSet selected, choose Edit StackSet details from the Actions menu.
On the Choose a template page, update the Permissions section as needed, or skip to the next step.
For Prerequisite - Prepare template, choose Use current template to use the current template, or Replace current template to specify an S3 URL to another template or upload a new template.
Choose Next.
On the Specify StackSet details page, for StackSet description, update the description for the StackSet as needed.
For Parameters, update the parameter values as needed.
Choose Next.
On the Configure StackSet options page, for Tags, modify the tags as needed. You can add, update, or delete tags. For more information about how tags are used in Amazon, see Organizing and tracking costs using Amazon cost allocation tags in the Amazon Billing and Cost Management User Guide.
For Execution configuration, you can update the execution configuration as needed.

Note
Remember, you can't change execution settings when operations are running or queued.
If your template contains IAM resources, for Capabilities, choose I acknowledge that this template may create IAM resources to specify that you want to use IAM resources in the template. For more information, see Acknowledging IAM resources in CloudFormation templates.
Choose Next.
On the Set deployment options page, provide the accounts and Regions for the update.

CloudFormation will deploy stack updates in the specified accounts within the first Region, then moves on to the next, and so on, as long as a Region's deployment failures don't exceed a specified failure tolerance.
1. [Self-managed permissions] For Accounts, Deployment locations, choose Deploy stacks in accounts. Paste the target account IDs that you used to create your StackSet in the text box, separating multiple numbers with commas.
  
  [Service-managed permissions] Do one of the following:
  - Choose Deploy to organizational units (OUs). Enter the target OUs that you used to create your StackSet.
  - Choose Deploy to accounts. Paste the target OU IDs or account IDs that you used to create your StackSet.
2. For Specify regions, specify the order in which you want CloudFormation to deploy your updates.
3. For Deployment options, do the following:
  - For Maximum concurrent accounts, specify how many accounts are processed concurrently.
  - For Failure tolerance, specify the maximum number of account failures allowed per Region. The operation will stop and won't proceed to other Regions once this limit is reached.
  - For Region concurrency, choose how to process Regions: Sequential (one Region at a time) or Parallel (multiple Regions concurrently).
  - For Concurrency mode, choose how concurrency behaves during operation execution.
    Strict failure tolerance – Reduces account concurrency level when failures occur, staying within Failure tolerance +1.
    
    Soft failure tolerance – Maintains your specified concurrency level (the value of Maximum concurrent accounts) regardless of failures.
4. Choose Next to continue.
On the Review page, review your choices. To make changes, choose Edit on the related section.
When you're ready to proceed, choose Submit.

CloudFormation starts applying your updates to your StackSet, and displays the Operations tab of the StackSet details page. You can view the progress and status of update operations on the Operations tab.

Update your StackSet (Amazon CLI)

Note

When acting as a delegated administrator, you must include --call-as DELEGATED_ADMIN in the command.

To update a StackSet

Use the update-stack-set command to make changes to your StackSet.

In the following examples, we're updating the StackSet by using --parameters option. Specifically, we change the default snapshot delivery frequency for delivery channel configuration from TwentyFour_Hours to Twelve_Hours. Because we're still using the current template, we add the --use-previous-template option.

Set concurrent account processing and other deployment preferences using the --operation-preferences option. These examples use count-based settings. Note that MaxConcurrentCount must not exceed FailureToleranceCount + 1. For percentage-based settings, use FailureTolerancePercentage or MaxConcurrentPercentage instead.

[Self-managed permissions] For the --accounts option, provide the account IDs you want your update to target.
```
aws cloudformation update-stack-set --stack-set-name my-stackset \
  --use-previous-template \
  --parameters ParameterKey=MaximumExecutionFrequency,ParameterValue=Twelve_Hours \
  --accounts account_ID_1 account_ID_2 \
  --regions us-west-2 us-east-1 \
  --operation-preferences MaxConcurrentCount=1,FailureToleranceCount=0
```
[Service-managed permissions] For the --deployment-targets option, provide the organization root ID or organizational unit (OU) IDs you want your update to target.
```
aws cloudformation update-stack-set --stack-set-name my-stackset \
  --use-previous-template \
  --parameters ParameterKey=MaximumExecutionFrequency,ParameterValue=Twelve_Hours \
  --deployment-targets OrganizationalUnitIds=ou-rcuk-1x5j1lwo,ou-rcuk-slr5lh0a \
  --regions us-west-2 us-east-1 \
  --operation-preferences MaxConcurrentCount=1,FailureToleranceCount=0
```
For more information, see UpdateStackSet in the Amazon CloudFormation API Reference.
Verify that your StackSet was updated successfully by running the describe-stack-set-operation command to show the status and results of your update operation. For --operation-id, use the operation ID that was returned by your update-stack-set command.
```
aws cloudformation describe-stack-set-operation \
  --operation-id operation_ID
```
