Usage

cloudformation_describe_stacks(StackName = NULL, NextToken = NULL)

Arguments

StackName

If you don't pass a parameter to StackName, the API returns a response that describes all resources in the account, which can impact performance. This requires list_stacks and describe_stacks permissions.

Consider using the list_stacks API if you're not passing a parameter to StackName.

The IAM policy below can be added to IAM policies when you want to limit resource-level permissions and avoid returning a response when no parameter is sent in the request:

{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [{ "Effect": "Deny", "Action": "cloudformation:DescribeStacks", "NotResource": "arn:aws:cloudformation:::stack//" }] }

The name or the unique stack ID that's associated with the stack, which aren't always interchangeable:

  • Running stacks: You can specify either the stack's name or its unique stack ID.

  • Deleted stacks: You must specify the unique stack ID.

NextToken

The token for the next set of items to return. (You received this token from a previous call.)
