Stack status#

Stacks and resources have a state and a status as described in the lists that follow:

State:

  • INIT – (Resources only) The resource has not been provisioned.

  • CREATE – The stack/resource is new.

  • UPDATE – The stack/resource is changed.

  • DELETE – The stack/resource is deleted.

  • ROLLBACK – A previously failed change is being reverted.

  • ADOPT – The stack/resource is adopted.

  • CHECK – The stack/resource health is checked.

Status:

  • IN-PROGRESS – The operation is in progress.

  • COMPLETE – The operation is compete.

  • FAILED – The operation failed.

So, if you create a new stack and something goes wrong, your stack would be CREATE FAILED. One or more resources of that stack may be in the following states:

  • INIT COMPLETE

  • CREATE FAILED

  • CREATE COMPLETE
