Read Consistency in Step Functions
State machine updates in Amazon Step Functions are eventually consistent. All
StartExecution
calls within a few seconds will use the updated definition
and roleArn
(the Amazon Resource Name for the IAM role). Executions started immediately after calling
UpdateStateMachine
might use the previous state machine definition and
roleArn
.
For more information, see the following:

UpdateStateMachine
