CloudFormation
Overview
Command-Line
To delete a stack:
$ aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <stack_name> --region <region>
Python API
The first thing you have to do to interact with CloudFormation from boto3
is to create a CloudFormation client:
import boto3
cf = boto3.client('cloudformation')
describe_stacks()
returns an dictionary which contains a Stacks
key. This Stacks
key contains an array where each element is a dictionary containing information about a particular stack.
import boto3
cf = boto3.client('cloudformation')
stacks = cf.describe_stacks(StackName='my-stack-name')
print(stacks)
# stdout:
# {
# 'Stacks': [
# {
# 'StackId': 'foo',
# ...
# }
# ]
# }
