delete_stack_instances

Operation

delete_stack_instances async

delete_stack_instances(input: DeleteStackInstancesInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> DeleteStackInstancesOutput

Deletes stack instances for the specified accounts, in the specified Amazon Web Services Regions.

Note

The maximum number of organizational unit (OUs) supported by a DeleteStackInstances operation is 50.

If you need more than 50, consider the following options:

  • Batch processing: If you don't want to expose your OU hierarchy, split up the operations into multiple calls with less than 50 OUs each.

  • Parent OU strategy: If you don't mind exposing the OU hierarchy, target a parent OU that contains all desired child OUs.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input DeleteStackInstancesInput

An instance of DeleteStackInstancesInput.

required
plugins list[Plugin] | None

A list of callables that modify the configuration dynamically. Changes made by these plugins only apply for the duration of the operation execution and will not affect any other operation invocations.

None

Returns:

Type Description
DeleteStackInstancesOutput

An instance of DeleteStackInstancesOutput.

Input

DeleteStackInstancesInput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for DeleteStackInstancesInput structure.

Attributes

accounts class-attribute instance-attribute
accounts: list[str] | None = ...

[Self-managed permissions] The account IDs of the Amazon Web Services accounts that you want to delete stack instances for.

You can specify Accounts or DeploymentTargets, but not both.

call_as class-attribute instance-attribute
call_as: str | None = ...

[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 StackSets with self-managed permissions.

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

  • If you are signed in to a delegated administrator account, specify DELEGATED_ADMIN.

Your Amazon Web Services account must be registered as a delegated administrator in the management account. For more information, see Register a delegated administrator in the CloudFormation User Guide.

deployment_targets class-attribute instance-attribute
deployment_targets: DeploymentTargets | None = ...

[Service-managed permissions] The Organizations accounts from which to delete stack instances.

You can specify Accounts or DeploymentTargets, but not both.

operation_id class-attribute instance-attribute
operation_id: str | None = ...

The unique identifier for this StackSet operation.

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

The operation ID also functions as an idempotency token, to ensure that CloudFormation performs the StackSet operation only once, even if you retry the request multiple times. You can retry StackSet operation requests to ensure that CloudFormation successfully received them.

Repeating this StackSet operation with a new operation ID retries all stack instances whose status is OUTDATED.

operation_preferences class-attribute instance-attribute
operation_preferences: StackSetOperationPreferences | None = ...

Preferences for how CloudFormation performs this StackSet operation.

regions class-attribute instance-attribute
regions: list[str] | None = ...

The Amazon Web Services Regions where you want to delete StackSet instances.

retain_stacks class-attribute instance-attribute
retain_stacks: bool | None = ...

Removes the stack instances from the specified StackSet, but doesn't delete the stacks. You can't reassociate a retained stack or add an existing, saved stack to a new stack set.

For more information, see StackSet operation options.

stack_set_name class-attribute instance-attribute
stack_set_name: str | None = ...

The name or unique ID of the StackSet that you want to delete stack instances for.

Output

DeleteStackInstancesOutput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for DeleteStackInstancesOutput structure.

Attributes

operation_id class-attribute instance-attribute
operation_id: str | None = ...

The unique identifier for this StackSet operation.

response_metadata class-attribute instance-attribute
response_metadata: ResponseMetadata = ...

Metadata about the response that produced this output. Use this to recover the request identifiers a service's support team needs in order to investigate a call. Members of the metadata are individually optional.
