Update RFCs

This example describes using the CLI version of the AMS UpdateRfc API (see Update RFC). While there are change types for updating some resources (DNS private and public, load balancer stacks, and stack patching configuration), there is no CT to update an RFC.

We recommend that you submit one UpdateRfc operation at a time. If you submit multiple updates, for example on a DNS stack, the updates might fail attempting to update the DNS at the same time.

REQUIRED DATA: RfcId: The RFC you're updating.

OPTIONAL DATA: ExecutionParameters: Unless you're updating a non-required field, like Description, you would submit modified execution parameters to address the issues that caused the RFC to be rejected or canceled. All submitted non-null values overwrite those values in the original RFC.

1. Find the relevant rejected or canceled RFC, you can use this command (you can substitute the value with Canceled):

   aws amscm list-rfc-summaries --filter Attribute=RfcStatusId,Value=Rejected

2. You can modify any of the following RFC parameters :

   {
       "Description": "string",
       "ExecutionParameters": "string",
       "ExpectedOutcome": "string",
       "ImplementationPlan": "string",
       "RequestedEndTime": "string",
       "RequestedStartTime": "string",
       "RfcId": "string",
       "RollbackPlan": "string",
       "Title": "string",
       "WorstCaseScenario": "string"}

   Example command updating the Description field:

   aws amscm update-rfc --description "AMSTestNoOpsActionRequired" --rfc-id "RFC_ID" --region us-east-1

   Example command updating the ExecutionParameters VpcId field:

   aws amscm update-rfc  --execution-parameters "{\"VpcId\":\"VPC_ID\"}" --rfc-id "RFC_ID" --region us-east-1

   Example command updating the RFC with an execution parameters file that contains the updates; see example execution parameters file in step 2 of: EC2 stack | Create:

   aws amscm update-rfc --execution-parameters file://CreateEc2ParamsUpdate.json --rfc-id "RFC_ID" --region us-east-1

3. Resubmit the RFC using submit-rfc and the same RFC ID that you have from when the RFC was first created:

   aws amscm submit-rfc --rfc-id RFC_ID

   If the RFC succeeds, you receive no confirmation or error messages at the command line.

4. To monitor the status of the request and to view Execution Output, run the following command.

   aws amscm get-rfc --rfc-id RFC_ID
