# Use `DescribeStackResources` with a CLI
<a name="cloudformation_example_cloudformation_DescribeStackResources_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `DescribeStackResources`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To get information about a stack resource**  
The following `describe-stack-resources` example displays details for the resources in the specified stack.  

```
aws cloudformation describe-stack-resources \
    --stack-name my-stack
```
Output:  

```
{
    "StackResources": [
        {
            "StackName": "my-stack",
            "StackId": "arn:aws:cloudformation:us-west-2:123456789012:stack/my-stack/d0a825a0-e4cd-xmpl-b9fb-061c69e99204",
            "LogicalResourceId": "bucket",

#### [ PowerShell ]

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**Example 1: Returns the AWS resource descriptions for up to 100 resources associated with the specified stack. To obtain details of all resources associated with a stack use the Get-CFNStackResourceSummary, which also supports manual paging of the results.**  

```
Get-CFNStackResourceList -StackName "myStack"
```
**Example 2: Returns the description of the Amazon EC2 instance identified in the template associated with the specified stack by the logical ID "Ec2Instance".**  

```
Get-CFNStackResourceList -StackName "myStack" -LogicalResourceId "Ec2Instance"
```
**Example 3: Returns the description of up to 100 resources associated with the stack containing an Amazon EC2 instance identified by instance ID "i-123456". To obtain details of all resources associated with a stack use the Get-CFNStackResourceSummary, which also supports manual paging of the results.**  

```
Get-CFNStackResourceList -PhysicalResourceId "i-123456"
```
**Example 4: Returns the description of the Amazon EC2 instance identified by the logical ID "Ec2Instance" in the template for a stack. The stack is identified using the physical resource ID of a resource it contains, in this case also an Amazon EC2 instance with instance ID "i-123456". A different physical resource could also be used to identify the stack depending on the template content, for example an Amazon S3 bucket.**  

```
Get-CFNStackResourceList -PhysicalResourceId "i-123456" -LogicalResourceId "Ec2Instance"
```

**Tools for PowerShell V5**  
**Example 1: Returns the AWS resource descriptions for up to 100 resources associated with the specified stack. To obtain details of all resources associated with a stack use the Get-CFNStackResourceSummary, which also supports manual paging of the results.**  

```
Get-CFNStackResourceList -StackName "myStack"
```
**Example 2: Returns the description of the Amazon EC2 instance identified in the template associated with the specified stack by the logical ID "Ec2Instance".**  

```
Get-CFNStackResourceList -StackName "myStack" -LogicalResourceId "Ec2Instance"
