Returns the description for the specified stack; if no stack name was specified, then it returns the description for all the stacks created. For more information about a stack's event history, see Understand CloudFormation stack creation events in the CloudFormation User Guide.
See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/cloudformation_describe_stacks/ for full documentation.
cloudformation_describe_stacks(StackName = NULL, NextToken = NULL)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.
Default: There is no default value.
A string that identifies the next page of stacks that you want to retrieve.
