type StackSetName

string

param StackSetName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the stack set. The name must be unique in the Region where you create your stack set.

type StackIds

list

param StackIds

[REQUIRED]

The IDs of the stacks you are importing into a stack set. You import up to 10 stacks per stack set at a time.

  • (string) --

type OperationPreferences

dict

param OperationPreferences

The user-specified preferences for how CloudFormation performs a stack set operation.

For more information on maximum concurrent accounts and failure tolerance, see Stack set operation options .

  • RegionConcurrencyType (string) --

    The concurrency type of deploying StackSets operations in Regions, could be in parallel or one Region at a time.

  • RegionOrder (list) --

    The order of the Regions in where you want to perform the stack operation.

    • (string) --

  • FailureToleranceCount (integer) --

    The number of accounts, per Region, for which this operation can fail before CloudFormation stops the operation in that Region. If the operation is stopped in a Region, CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent Regions.

    Conditional: You must specify either FailureToleranceCount or FailureTolerancePercentage (but not both).

    By default, 0 is specified.

  • FailureTolerancePercentage (integer) --

    The percentage of accounts, per Region, for which this stack operation can fail before CloudFormation stops the operation in that Region. If the operation is stopped in a Region, CloudFormation doesn't attempt the operation in any subsequent Regions.

    When calculating the number of accounts based on the specified percentage, CloudFormation rounds down to the next whole number.

    Conditional: You must specify either FailureToleranceCount or FailureTolerancePercentage , but not both.

    By default, 0 is specified.

  • MaxConcurrentCount (integer) --

    The maximum number of accounts in which to perform this operation at one time. This is dependent on the value of FailureToleranceCount . MaxConcurrentCount is at most one more than the FailureToleranceCount .

    Note that this setting lets you specify the maximum for operations. For large deployments, under certain circumstances the actual number of accounts acted upon concurrently may be lower due to service throttling.

    Conditional: You must specify either MaxConcurrentCount or MaxConcurrentPercentage , but not both.

    By default, 1 is specified.

  • MaxConcurrentPercentage (integer) --

    The maximum percentage of accounts in which to perform this operation at one time.

    When calculating the number of accounts based on the specified percentage, CloudFormation rounds down to the next whole number. This is true except in cases where rounding down would result is zero. In this case, CloudFormation sets the number as one instead.

    Note that this setting lets you specify the maximum for operations. For large deployments, under certain circumstances the actual number of accounts acted upon concurrently may be lower due to service throttling.

    Conditional: You must specify either MaxConcurrentCount or MaxConcurrentPercentage , but not both.

    By default, 1 is specified.

type OperationId

string

param OperationId

A unique, user defined, identifier for the stack set operation.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.

type CallAs

string

param CallAs

By default, SELF is specified. Use SELF for stack sets with self-managed permissions.

  • If you are signed in to the management account, specify SELF .

  • For service managed stack sets, specify DELEGATED_ADMIN .

type StackSetName

string

param StackSetName

[REQUIRED]

The name to associate with the stack set. The name must be unique in the Region where you create your stack set.

Note

A stack name can contain only alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive) and hyphens. It must start with an alphabetic character and can't be longer than 128 characters.

type Description

string

param Description

A description of the stack set. You can use the description to identify the stack set's purpose or other important information.

type TemplateBody

string

param TemplateBody

The structure that contains the template body, with a minimum length of 1 byte and a maximum length of 51,200 bytes. For more information, see Template Anatomy in the CloudFormation User Guide.

Conditional: You must specify either the TemplateBody or the TemplateURL parameter, but not both.

type TemplateURL

string

param TemplateURL

The location of the file that contains the template body. The URL must point to a template (maximum size: 460,800 bytes) that's located in an Amazon S3 bucket or a Systems Manager document. For more information, see Template Anatomy in the CloudFormation User Guide.

Conditional: You must specify either the TemplateBody or the TemplateURL parameter, but not both.

type StackId

string

param StackId

The stack ID you are importing into a new stack set. Specify the Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the stack.

type Parameters

list

param Parameters

The input parameters for the stack set template.

  • (dict) --

    The Parameter data type.

    • ParameterKey (string) --

      The key associated with the parameter. If you don't specify a key and value for a particular parameter, CloudFormation uses the default value that is specified in your template.

    • ParameterValue (string) --

      The input value associated with the parameter.

    • UsePreviousValue (boolean) --

      During a stack update, use the existing parameter value that the stack is using for a given parameter key. If you specify true , do not specify a parameter value.

    • ResolvedValue (string) --

      Read-only. The value that corresponds to a Systems Manager parameter key. This field is returned only for ` SSM parameter types <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/parameters-section-structure.html#aws-ssm-parameter-types>`__ in the template.

type Capabilities

list

param Capabilities

In some cases, you must explicitly acknowledge that your stack set template contains certain capabilities in order for CloudFormation to create the stack set and related stack instances.

  • CAPABILITY_IAM and CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM Some stack templates might include resources that can affect permissions in your account; for example, by creating new Identity and Access Management (IAM) users. For those stack sets, you must explicitly acknowledge this by specifying one of these capabilities. The following IAM resources require you to specify either the CAPABILITY_IAM or CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM capability.

    • If you have IAM resources, you can specify either capability.

    • If you have IAM resources with custom names, you must specify CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM .

    • If you don't specify either of these capabilities, CloudFormation returns an InsufficientCapabilities error.

If your stack template contains these resources, we recommend that you review all permissions associated with them and edit their permissions if necessary.

For more information, see Acknowledging IAM Resources in CloudFormation Templates .

  • CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND Some templates reference macros. If your stack set template references one or more macros, you must create the stack set directly from the processed template, without first reviewing the resulting changes in a change set. To create the stack set directly, you must acknowledge this capability. For more information, see Using CloudFormation Macros to Perform Custom Processing on Templates .

Warning

Stack sets with service-managed permissions do not currently support the use of macros in templates. (This includes the AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless transforms, which are macros hosted by CloudFormation.) Even if you specify this capability for a stack set with service-managed permissions, if you reference a macro in your template the stack set operation will fail.

  • (string) --

type Tags

list

param Tags

The key-value pairs to associate with this stack set and the stacks created from it. CloudFormation also propagates these tags to supported resources that are created in the stacks. A maximum number of 50 tags can be specified.

If you specify tags as part of a CreateStackSet action, CloudFormation checks to see if you have the required IAM permission to tag resources. If you don't, the entire CreateStackSet action fails with an access denied error, and the stack set is not created.

  • (dict) --

    The Tag type enables you to specify a key-value pair that can be used to store information about an CloudFormation stack.

    • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      Required . A string used to identify this tag. You can specify a maximum of 128 characters for a tag key. Tags owned by Amazon Web Services (Amazon Web Services) have the reserved prefix: aws: .

    • Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]

      Required . A string containing the value for this tag. You can specify a maximum of 256 characters for a tag value.

type AdministrationRoleARN

string

param AdministrationRoleARN

The Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the IAM role to use to create this stack set.

Specify an IAM role only if you are using customized administrator roles to control which users or groups can manage specific stack sets within the same administrator account. For more information, see Prerequisites: Granting Permissions for Stack Set Operations in the CloudFormation User Guide .

type ExecutionRoleName

string

param ExecutionRoleName

The name of the IAM execution role to use to create the stack set. If you do not specify an execution role, CloudFormation uses the AWSCloudFormationStackSetExecutionRole role for the stack set operation.

Specify an IAM role only if you are using customized execution roles to control which stack resources users and groups can include in their stack sets.

type PermissionModel

string

param PermissionModel

Describes how the IAM roles required for stack set operations are created. By default, SELF-MANAGED is specified.

type AutoDeployment

dict

param AutoDeployment

Describes whether StackSets automatically deploys to Organizations accounts that are added to the target organization or organizational unit (OU). Specify only if PermissionModel is SERVICE_MANAGED .

  • Enabled (boolean) --

    If set to true , StackSets automatically deploys additional stack instances to Organizations accounts that are added to a target organization or organizational unit (OU) in the specified Regions. If an account is removed from a target organization or OU, StackSets deletes stack instances from the account in the specified Regions.

  • RetainStacksOnAccountRemoval (boolean) --

    If set to true , stack resources are retained when an account is removed from a target organization or OU. If set to false , stack resources are deleted. Specify only if Enabled is set to True .

type CallAs

string

param CallAs

[Service-managed permissions] Specifies whether you are acting as an account administrator in the organization's management account or as a delegated administrator in a member account.

By default, SELF is specified. Use SELF for stack sets with self-managed permissions.

  • To create a stack set with service-managed permissions while signed in to the management account, specify SELF .

  • To create a stack set with service-managed permissions while signed in to a delegated administrator account, specify DELEGATED_ADMIN . Your account must be registered as a delegated admin in the management account. For more information, see Register a delegated administrator in the CloudFormation User Guide .

Stack sets with service-managed permissions are created in the management account, including stack sets that are created by delegated administrators.

type ClientRequestToken

string

param ClientRequestToken

A unique identifier for this CreateStackSet request. Specify this token if you plan to retry requests so that CloudFormation knows that you're not attempting to create another stack set with the same name. You might retry CreateStackSet requests to ensure that CloudFormation successfully received them.

If you don't specify an operation ID, the SDK generates one automatically.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.
