aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name {{stack-name}} --profile {{profile}}

• List all stacks:

aws cloudformation list-stacks --profile {{profile}}

• List all running stacks:

aws cloudformation list-stacks --stack-status-filter CREATE_COMPLETE --profile {{profile}}

• Check the status of a stack:

aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name {{stack-id}} --profile {{profile}}

• Initiate drift detection for a stack:

aws cloudformation detect-stack-drift --stack-name {{stack-id}} --profile {{profile}}

• Check the drift status output of a stack using StackDriftDetectionId from the previous command output:

aws cloudformation describe-stack-resource-drifts --stack-name {{stack-drift-detection-id}} --profile {{profile}}
