# atmos aws cloudformation get template

Fetch the deployed stack's template (`GetTemplate`) and write it to stdout.
By default this is the fully-processed template CloudFormation actually
deployed — the same shape a diff against the local render should compare
against — not the user-submitted source.

> ⚠️ Experimental

## Usage

```shell
atmos aws cloudformation get template <component> --stack <stack> [options]
```

```shell
atmos aws cloudformation get template vpc -s plat-ue2-dev
```

Fetch the original, user-submitted template instead of the processed one:

```shell
atmos aws cloudformation get template vpc -s plat-ue2-dev --original
```

## 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`
  .
- **`--original` (optional)**
  Fetch the user-submitted template instead of the processed one CloudFormation deployed.
- **`--all` (optional)**
  Fetch the template for all 
  `aws/cloudformation`
   components in dependency order.
- **`--affected` (optional)**
  Fetch the template 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.

:::note
`get template` does not fire `before`/`after` hook events — only
[`apply`](/cli/commands/aws/cloudformation/apply),
[`diff`](/cli/commands/aws/cloudformation/diff), and
[`delete`](/cli/commands/aws/cloudformation/delete) do.
