atmos aws cloudformation changeset create

Create a CloudFormation changeset for the component and leave it in place for later manual review and execution — the explicit-control complement to diff/plan's implicit, preview-only changeset (which is also left in place, but framed as a one-off preview rather than a named, reusable artifact).

Experimental
atmos aws cloudformation changeset create --help
 

Usage

atmos aws cloudformation changeset create <component> --stack <stack> [options]
atmos aws cloudformation changeset create vpc -s plat-ue2-dev

Create changesets for all or affected components in dependency order:

atmos aws cloudformation changeset create --all -s plat-ue2-dev
atmos aws cloudformation changeset create --affected --base origin/main

Flags

--stack, -s (required for a single component)
Atmos stack. Required when operating on a single component; optional (and used only to narrow the selected set) with --all/--affected.
--all (optional)
Create changesets for all aws/cloudformation components in dependency order.
--affected (optional)
Create changesets for affected aws/cloudformation components and their dependencies.
--include-dependents (optional)
With --affected, include dependent aws/cloudformation components.
--tags (optional)
Filter by tags (comma-separated, matches any): --tags=production,tier-1. Composes with --all/--affected to narrow the selected set further; cannot be combined with a single component argument.
--labels (optional)
Filter by labels (comma-separated key=value or key:value pairs, matches all): --labels=cost-center=platform,compliance=sox. Composes with --all/--affected/--tags; cannot be combined with a single component argument.

Output

On success, the summary includes the changeset's ID and name, whether it was a no-op (no changes to apply), and the predicted changes — the same diff summary diff renders. Execute the named changeset later with changeset execute.

note

changeset create does not fire before/after hook events — only apply, diff, and delete do.
