This topic describes how to use Alibaba Cloud CLI to call API operations related to stacks.

CreateStack

You can call this operation to create a stack.

Parameter Type Required Example Description
--RegionId String Yes cn-hangzhou

The region ID of the stack. You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.

--StackName String Yes MyStack

The name of the stack.

The name can be up to 255 characters in length and can contain digits, letters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). It must start with a digit or letter.

--TimeoutInMinutes Long Yes 10

The timeout period that is specified for the stack creation request.

  • Default value: 60.
  • Unit: minutes.
--Parameters.N.ParameterKey String No InstanceId

The key of parameter N. If the key and value of the parameter are not specified, the key and value specified in the template are used by default.

Maximum value of N: 200.

--Parameters.N.ParameterValue String No i-xxxxxx

The value of parameter N.

Maximum value of N: 200.

--DisableRollback Boolean No false

Specifies whether to disable rollback on stack creation failure. Default value: false. Valid values:

  • true: disables rollback on stack creation failure.
  • false: enables rollback on stack creation failure.
--TemplateBody String No { "ROSTemplateFormatVersion": "2015-09-01" }

The structure that contains the template body. The template body must be 1 to 524,288 bytes in length.

If the length of the template body is longer than required, we recommend that you add parameters to the HTTP POST request body to avoid request failures due to excessive length of URLs.

You must specify one of the TemplateBody and TemplateURL parameters, but you cannot specify both of them.

--StackPolicyURL String No oss://ros-stack-policy/demo

The URL for the file that contains the stack policy. The URL must point to a policy located in an HTTP or HTTPS web server or an Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket. Examples: oss://ros/stack-policy/demo and oss://ros/stack-policy/demo?RegionId=cn-hangzhou. The policy can be up to 16,384 bytes in length and the URL can be up to 1,350 bytes in length.

Note If the region of the OSS bucket is not specified, the RegionId parameter value is used by default.

You can specify one of the StackPolicyBody and StackPolicyURL parameters, but you cannot specify both of them.

--StackPolicyBody String No {"Statement": [{"Action": "Update:*", "Resource": "*", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": "*"}]}

The structure that contains the stack policy body. The stack policy body must be 1 to 16,384 bytes in length.

You can specify one of the StackPolicyBody and StackPolicyURL parameters, but you cannot specify both of them.

--NotificationURLs.N RepeatList No http://example.com/ros-event

The callback URL for receiving stack event N. Only HTTP POST is supported.

  • Maximum value of N: 5.
  • Each URL can be up to 1,024 bytes in length.

ROS sents a notification to the specified URL when the stack status changes. If rollback is enabled on the stack, notifications are sent if the stack is in the CREATE_ROLLBACK or ROLLBACK state, but are not sent when the stack is in the CREATE_FAILED or UPDATE_FAILED state.

Note ROS does not send notifications when the stack is in the IN_PROGRESS state.

Notifications are sent regardless of whether the Outputs parameter is specified. The following segment is an example of a notification:

{
    "Outputs": [
        {
            "Description": "No description given",
            "OutputKey": "InstanceId",

    "StackName": "test-notification-url",
    "Status": "CREATE_COMPLETE"
}
--TemplateURL String No oss://ros-template/demo

The URL for the file that contains the template body. The URL must point to a template located in an HTTP or HTTPS web server or an Alibaba Cloud OSS bucket. Examples: oss://ros/template/demo and oss://ros/template/demo?RegionId=cn-hangzhou. The template can be up to 524,288 bytes in length.

Note If the region of the OSS bucket is not specified, the RegionId parameter value is used by default.

You must specify one of the TemplateBody and TemplateURL parameters, but you cannot specify both of them.

--ClientToken String No 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-42665544****

The token can be up to 64 characters in length, and can contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).

For more information, see Ensure idempotence.
