# atmos aws cloudformation deploy

Create or update the CloudFormation stack for a component. `deploy` is an
alias for [`apply`](/cli/commands/aws/cloudformation/apply) that defaults
`--auto-approve` to `true`, matching the established `terraform deploy` =
"apply with auto-approve" convention — useful for CI, where nothing is
present to answer an interactive prompt.

> ⚠️ Experimental

## Usage

```shell
atmos aws cloudformation deploy <component> --stack <stack> [options]
atmos aws cloudformation deploy vpc -s plat-ue2-dev

# Deploy components filtered by tags or labels (composes with --all/--affected)
atmos aws cloudformation deploy --all --tags production,tier-1
atmos aws cloudformation deploy --affected --labels cost-center=platform
```

## 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`
  .
- **`--target` (optional)**
  Provision target to deliver to. Defaults to 
  `provision.default`
  , otherwise the implicit direct-deploy target.
- **`--auto-approve` (optional, defaults to `true`)**
  Skip the interactive confirmation prompt. Pass 
  `--auto-approve=false`
   to require confirmation, just like 
  `apply`
   without the flag.
- **`--all` / `--affected` / `--include-dependents` (optional)**
  Process multiple 
  `aws/cloudformation`
   components in dependency order. See 
  [`apply`](/cli/commands/aws/cloudformation/apply)
  .
- **`--tags` / `--labels` (optional)**
  Filter by tags (comma-separated, matches any) or labels (comma-separated 
  `key=value`
   or 
  `key:value`
   pairs, matches all): 
  `--tags=production,tier-1`
  , 
  `--labels=cost-center=platform`
  . Compose with 
  `--all`
  /
  `--affected`
   to narrow the selected set further; cannot be combined with a single component argument.
