About CloudFormation
AWS CloudFormation is an infrastructure-as-code service that lets you model, provision, and manage AWS resources by treating infrastructure as code.
What teams automate with CloudFormation
- Describe Stacks: List all stacks in a region or get detailed information about a specific stack, including its status, outputs, tags, and drift information
- List Stack Resources: Enumerate every resource in a stack with its logical ID, physical ID, type, status, and drift status
- Describe Stack Events: View the full event history for a stack to understand what happened during create, update, or delete operations
- Detect Stack Drift: Initiate drift detection to check whether any resources in a stack have been modified outside of CloudFormation
- Drift Detection Status: Poll the results of a drift detection operation to see which resources have drifted and how many
- Get Template: Retrieve the original template body (JSON or YAML) used to create or update a stack
What can you do with the CloudFormation integration?
What can you do with the CloudFormation integration? AWS CloudFormation is an infrastructure-as-code service that lets you model, provision, and manage AWS resources by treating infrastructure as code. CloudFormation uses templates to describe the resources you need and their dependencies, so you can launch and configure them together as a stack. With the CloudFormation integration, you can: AptlyStar exposes 7 operations so teams can automate end-to-end processes without maintaining brittle scripts.

Challenges AptlyStar solves
Keep CloudFormation in sync with the rest of your stack
Teams lose hours copying data between CloudFormation and CRMs, inboxes, and spreadsheets. AptlyStar connects CloudFormation to 7+ operations so updates flow automatically.
Learn moreScale CloudFormation automations without custom glue code
One-off scripts break when APIs change. Use visual workflows, retries, and typed blocks so CloudFormation automations stay maintainable as you grow.
Learn moreGive AI agents secure, scoped access to CloudFormation
Agents need live CloudFormation context without over-permissioned keys. Connect credentials once, apply guardrails, and let agents act through audited workflow runs.
