atmos aws cloudformation deploy

Create or update the CloudFormation stack for a component. deploy is an alias for 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

atmos aws cloudformation deploy --help

Usage

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

Behavior

deploy runs exactly like apply with the confirmation turned off: it creates the changeset, prints the predicted changes on stderr, and executes the changeset without asking. A changeset that would change nothing is deleted, deploy prints No changes, and the follow-up steps still run. With --auto-approve=false it asks after showing the changes, like apply.

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 (optional)

Process all aws/cloudformation components in dependency order.

--affected (optional)

Process affected aws/cloudformation components and their dependencies. Compares the working tree against a base: see --base and the Git flags below.

--include-dependents (optional)

With --affected, include dependent aws/cloudformation components.

--base (optional)

Git base ref or SHA to compare against for affected detection: --base=origin/main. A value that looks like a commit SHA is treated as --sha, anything else as --ref. Used with --affected.

--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 (repeatable and/or 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.

--ci (optional)

Enable native CI integration (requires ci.enabled): writes the job summary and output variables for the operation. Also enabled by the CI and ATMOS_CI environment variables.

--ref (optional)

Git ref to compare against for affected detection. Used with --affected.

--sha (optional)

Git SHA to compare against for affected detection. Used with --affected.

--repo-path (optional)

Path to an already cloned target repository to use as the affected baseline. Used with --affected.

--clone-target-ref (optional)

Clone the target ref instead of checking it out in the current repository for affected detection. Used with --affected.

--ssh-key (optional)

Path to the SSH private key used to clone the target ref for affected detection. Used with --clone-target-ref.

--ssh-key-password (optional)

Password for the SSH private key used to clone the target ref for affected detection. Used with --clone-target-ref.

--skip-hooks (optional)

Skip lifecycle hooks for this invocation. --skip-hooks with no value skips every hook; --skip-hooks=name1,name2 skips only the named hooks. Equivalent to the ATMOS_SKIP_HOOKS environment variable.
