AWS CloudFormation introduces Drift Detection assistance in StackSets

AWS CloudFormation makes it simple for developers and systems administrators to design and handle a group of related AWS resources, provisioning and updating them in an organized and expected manner. You can utilize AWS CloudFormation’s sample templates or design your personal templates to specify the AWS resources, and any linked dependencies or runtime parameters, essential to execute your application. You don’t require to solve the sequence for provisioning AWS services or the subtleties of making those dependencies work. AWS CloudFormation StackSets expands the functionality of stacks by allowing you to create, update, or delete stacks over different accounts and regions with just one operation. AWS CloudFormation StackSets assists drift detection, so now you can check aggregated drift results for your StackSets and their stack instances from one view in one account. Drift detection allows you examine that the actual configuration of application resources equates their configuration intent. To get start with CloudFormation StackSets, refer console by selecting a StackSet and choosing 'Detect drift' in the 'Actions' drop-down menu. This functionality is obtainable in the following AWS Regions : US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), US West (Oregon), Canada (Central), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), EU (Frankfurt), EU (Ireland), EU (London), EU (Paris), and South America (São Paulo). Besides, Drift detection in StackSets reveals new APIs which are accessible through the AWS SDKs and the AWS CLI. To read further, visit API reference and documentation.
