Detect Stack Drift

cloudformation_detect_stack_drift

R Documentation

Detects 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

Description

Detects 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 each resource in the stack that supports drift detection, CloudFormation compares the actual configuration of the resource with its expected template configuration. Only resource properties explicitly defined in the stack template are checked for drift. A stack is considered to have drifted if one or more of its resources differ from their expected template configurations. For more information, see Detecting Unregulated Configuration Changes to Stacks and Resources.

Use detect_stack_drift to detect drift on all supported resources for a given stack, or detect_stack_resource_drift to detect drift on individual resources.

For a list of stack resources that currently support drift detection, see Resources that Support Drift Detection.

detect_stack_drift can take up to several minutes, depending on the number of resources contained within the stack. Use describe_stack_drift_detection_status to monitor the progress of a detect stack drift operation. Once the drift detection operation has completed, use describe_stack_resource_drifts to return drift information about the stack and its resources.

When detecting drift on a stack, CloudFormation doesn't detect drift on any nested stacks belonging to that stack. Perform detect_stack_drift directly on the nested stack itself.

Usage

cloudformation_detect_stack_drift(StackName, LogicalResourceIds)

Arguments

StackName

[required] The name of the stack for which you want to detect drift.

LogicalResourceIds

The logical names of any resources you want to use as filters.

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  StackDriftDetectionId = "string"
)

Request syntax

svc$detect_stack_drift(
  StackName = "string",
  LogicalResourceIds = list(
    "string"
  )
)
