Cloudformation module: output json

Archives Ansible Project

Hi all,

I am looking into deploying AWS environments using Cloudformation and Ansible. Since a little while, you can now check what effect changes in a Cloudformation template will have prior to deploying it using the AWS console.

Now my question is: is there a way to perform some kind of a dry run using the Ansible plugin? Meaning that after the initial deploy, if changes were made to the template or the variables, see what changes would be triggered on AWS without executing them?

Thanks,
Tom

Tom, it doesn’t appear AWS has released “changesets” as an API, it’s only in the console. That’s the best bet, I think.

(Of course, you could save and diff JSON…)
