AWS CloudFormation allows you to create and manage AWS infrastructure deployments predictably and repeatedly. You can use AWS CloudFormation to leverage AWS products, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Amazon Elastic Block Store, Amazon Simple Notification Service, Elastic Load Balancing, and Auto Scaling to build highly-reliable, highly scalable, cost-effective applications without creating or configuring the underlying AWS infrastructure.
With AWS CloudFormation, you declare all of your resources and dependencies in a template file. The template defines a collection of resources as a single unit called a stack. AWS CloudFormation creates and deletes all member resources of the stack together and manages all dependencies between the resources for you.
For more information about AWS CloudFormation, see the AWS CloudFormation Product Page.
Amazon CloudFormation makes use of other AWS products. For additional technical information about a specific AWS product, see its technical documentation.

public CancelUpdateStackResult cancelUpdateStack(CancelUpdateStackRequest request)
Cancels an update on the specified stack. If the call completes successfully, the stack rolls back the update and reverts to the previous stack configuration.
You can cancel only stacks that are in the UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS state.
cancelUpdateStack in interface AmazonCloudFormationcancelUpdateStackRequest - The input for the CancelUpdateStack action.public ContinueUpdateRollbackResult continueUpdateRollback(ContinueUpdateRollbackRequest request)
 For a specified stack that is in the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED state, continues rolling it back to the
 UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state. Depending on the cause of the failure, you can manually  fix the error and continue the rollback. By continuing the rollback, you can return your stack to a working
 state (the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state), and then try to update the stack again.
 
 A stack goes into the UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED state when AWS CloudFormation cannot roll back all
 changes after a failed stack update. For example, you might have a stack that is rolling back to an old database
 instance that was deleted outside of AWS CloudFormation. Because AWS CloudFormation doesn't know the database was
 deleted, it assumes that the database instance still exists and attempts to roll back to it, causing the update
 rollback to fail.
 
continueUpdateRollback in interface AmazonCloudFormationcontinueUpdateRollbackRequest - The input for the ContinueUpdateRollback action.public CreateChangeSetResult createChangeSet(CreateChangeSetRequest request)
Creates a list of changes for a stack. AWS CloudFormation generates the change set by comparing the template's information with the information that you submit. A change set can help you understand which resources AWS CloudFormation will change, and how it will change them, before you update your stack. Change sets allow you to check before making a change to avoid deleting or replacing critical resources.
AWS CloudFormation doesn't make any changes to the stack when you create a change set. To make the specified changes, you must execute the change set by using the ExecuteChangeSet action.
After the call successfully completes, AWS CloudFormation starts creating the change set. To check the status of the change set, use the DescribeChangeSet action.
createChangeSet in interface AmazonCloudFormationcreateChangeSetRequest - The input for the CreateChangeSet action.AlreadyExistsException - Resource with the name requested already exists.InsufficientCapabilitiesException - The template contains resources with capabilities that were not specified in the Capabilities parameter.LimitExceededException - Quota for the resource has already been reached.public CreateStackResult createStack(CreateStackRequest request)
Creates a stack as specified in the template. After the call completes successfully, the stack creation starts. You can check the status of the stack via the DescribeStacks API.

Deletes the specified change set. Deleting change sets ensures that no one executes the wrong change set.
If the call successfully completes, AWS CloudFormation successfully deleted the change set.
deleteChangeSet in interface AmazonCloudFormationdeleteChangeSetRequest - The input for the DeleteChangeSet action.InvalidChangeSetStatusException - The specified change set cannot be used to update the stack. For example, the change set status might be
         CREATE_IN_PROGRESS or the stack status might be UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS.public DeleteStackResult deleteStack(DeleteStackRequest request)
Deletes a specified stack. Once the call completes successfully, stack deletion starts. Deleted stacks do not show up in the DescribeStacks API if the deletion has been completed successfully.
deleteStack in interface AmazonCloudFormationdeleteStackRequest - The input for DeleteStack action.public DescribeAccountLimitsResult describeAccountLimits(DescribeAccountLimitsRequest request)
Retrieves your account's AWS CloudFormation limits, such as the maximum number of stacks that you can create in your account.

Returns the inputs for the change set and a list of changes that AWS CloudFormation will make if you execute the change set. For more information, see Updating Stacks Using Change Sets in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
describeChangeSet in interface AmazonCloudFormationdescribeChangeSetRequest - The input for the DescribeChangeSet action.ChangeSetNotFoundException - The specified change set name or ID doesn't exit. To view valid change sets for a stack, use the
         ListChangeSets action.public DescribeStackEventsResult describeStackEvents(DescribeStackEventsRequest request)
Returns all stack related events for a specified stack in reverse chronological order. For more information about a stack's event history, go to Stacks in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
You can list events for stacks that have failed to create or have been deleted by specifying the unique stack identifier (stack ID).
describeStackEvents in interface AmazonCloudFormationdescribeStackEventsRequest - The input for DescribeStackEvents action.public DescribeStackResourceResult describeStackResource(DescribeStackResourceRequest request)
Returns a description of the specified resource in the specified stack.
For deleted stacks, DescribeStackResource returns resource information for up to 90 days after the stack has been deleted.
describeStackResource in interface AmazonCloudFormationdescribeStackResourceRequest - The input for DescribeStackResource action.public DescribeStackResourcesResult describeStackResources(DescribeStackResourcesRequest request)
 Returns AWS resource descriptions for running and deleted stacks. If StackName is specified, all the
 associated resources that are part of the stack are returned. If PhysicalResourceId is specified,
 the associated resources of the stack that the resource belongs to are returned.
 
 Only the first 100 resources will be returned. If your stack has more resources than this, you should use
 ListStackResources instead.
 
 For deleted stacks, DescribeStackResources returns resource information for up to 90 days after the
 stack has been deleted.
 
 You must specify either StackName or PhysicalResourceId, but not both. In addition, you
 can specify LogicalResourceId to filter the returned result. For more information about resources,
 the LogicalResourceId and PhysicalResourceId, go to the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
 
 A ValidationError is returned if you specify both StackName and
 PhysicalResourceId in the same request.
 
describeStackResources in interface AmazonCloudFormationdescribeStackResourcesRequest - The input for DescribeStackResources action.public DescribeStacksResult describeStacks(DescribeStacksRequest request)
Returns the description for the specified stack; if no stack name was specified, then it returns the description for all the stacks created.

AmazonCloudFormationestimateTemplateCost in interface AmazonCloudFormationAmazonCloudFormation.estimateTemplateCost(EstimateTemplateCostRequest)public ExecuteChangeSetResult executeChangeSet(ExecuteChangeSetRequest request)
Updates a stack using the input information that was provided when the specified change set was created. After the call successfully completes, AWS CloudFormation starts updating the stack. Use the DescribeStacks action to view the status of the update.
When you execute a change set, AWS CloudFormation deletes all other change sets associated with the stack because they aren't valid for the updated stack.
If a stack policy is associated with the stack, AWS CloudFormation enforces the policy during the update. You can't specify a temporary stack policy that overrides the current policy.
executeChangeSet in interface AmazonCloudFormationexecuteChangeSetRequest - The input for the ExecuteChangeSet action.InvalidChangeSetStatusException - The specified change set cannot be used to update the stack. For example, the change set status might be
         CREATE_IN_PROGRESS or the stack status might be UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS.ChangeSetNotFoundException - The specified change set name or ID doesn't exit. To view valid change sets for a stack, use the
         ListChangeSets action.InsufficientCapabilitiesException - The template contains resources with capabilities that were not specified in the Capabilities parameter.public GetStackPolicyResult getStackPolicy(GetStackPolicyRequest request)
Returns the stack policy for a specified stack. If a stack doesn't have a policy, a null value is returned.
getStackPolicy in interface AmazonCloudFormationgetStackPolicyRequest - The input for the GetStackPolicy action.public GetTemplateResult getTemplate(GetTemplateRequest request)
Returns the template body for a specified stack. You can get the template for running or deleted stacks.
For deleted stacks, GetTemplate returns the template for up to 90 days after the stack has been deleted.
 If the template does not exist, a ValidationError is returned.

         ListChangeSets action.public GetTemplateSummaryResult getTemplateSummary(GetTemplateSummaryRequest request)
 Returns information about a new or existing template. The GetTemplateSummary action is useful for
 viewing parameter information, such as default parameter values and parameter types, before you create or update
 a stack.
 
 You can use the GetTemplateSummary action when you submit a template, or you can get template
 information for a running or deleted stack.
 
 For deleted stacks, GetTemplateSummary returns the template information for up to 90 days after the
 stack has been deleted. If the template does not exist, a ValidationError is returned.
 
getTemplateSummary in interface AmazonCloudFormationgetTemplateSummaryRequest - The input for the GetTemplateSummary action.public GetTemplateSummaryResult getTemplateSummary()
AmazonCloudFormationgetTemplateSummary in interface AmazonCloudFormationAmazonCloudFormation.getTemplateSummary(GetTemplateSummaryRequest)public ListChangeSetsResult listChangeSets(ListChangeSetsRequest request)
 Returns the ID and status of each active change set for a stack. For example, AWS CloudFormation lists change
 sets that are in the CREATE_IN_PROGRESS or CREATE_PENDING state.
 
listChangeSets in interface AmazonCloudFormationlistChangeSetsRequest - The input for the ListChangeSets action.public ListExportsResult listExports(ListExportsRequest request)
 Lists all exported output values in the account and region in which you call this action. Use this action to see
 the exported output values that you can import into other stacks. To import values, use the

setStackPolicy in interface AmazonCloudFormationsetStackPolicyRequest - The input for the SetStackPolicy action.public SignalResourceResult signalResource(SignalResourceRequest request)
Sends a signal to the specified resource with a success or failure status. You can use the SignalResource API in conjunction with a creation policy or update policy. AWS CloudFormation doesn't proceed with a stack creation or update until resources receive the required number of signals or the timeout period is exceeded. The SignalResource API is useful in cases where you want to send signals from anywhere other than an Amazon EC2 instance.
signalResource in interface AmazonCloudFormationsignalResourceRequest - The input for the SignalResource action.public UpdateStackResult updateStack(UpdateStackRequest request)
Updates a stack as specified in the template. After the call completes successfully, the stack update starts. You can check the status of the stack via the DescribeStacks action.
To get a copy of the template for an existing stack, you can use the GetTemplate action.
For more information about creating an update template, updating a stack, and monitoring the progress of the update, see Updating a Stack.
updateStack in interface AmazonCloudFormationupdateStackRequest - The input for an UpdateStack action.InsufficientCapabilitiesException - The template contains resources with capabilities that were not specified in the Capabilities parameter.public ValidateTemplateResult validateTemplate(ValidateTemplateRequest request)
Validates a specified template. AWS CloudFormation first checks if the template is valid JSON. If it isn't, AWS CloudFormation checks if the template is valid YAML. If both these checks fail, AWS CloudFormation returns a template validation error.
validateTemplate in interface AmazonCloudFormationvalidateTemplateRequest - The input for ValidateTemplate action.public ResponseMetadata getCachedResponseMetadata(AmazonWebServiceRequest request)
Response metadata is only cached for a limited period of time, so if you need to access this extra diagnostic information for an executed request, you should use this method to retrieve it as soon as possible after executing the request.
