function Remove-PSCFNStack { <# .SYNOPSIS Delete one or more stacks. .DESCRIPTION Delete one or more stacks. If -Wait is specified, stack events are output to the console including events from any nested stacks. Deletion of multiple stacks can be either sequential or parallel. If deleting a gruop of stacks where there are dependencies between them use the -Sequential switch and list the stacks in dependency order. .PARAMETER StackName Either stack names or the object returned by Get-CFNStack, New-CFNStack, Update-CFNStack and other functions in this module when run with -Wait. .PARAMETER Wait If set and -Sequential is not set (so deleting in parallel), wait for all stacks to be deleted before returning. .PARAMETER Sequential If set, delete stacks in the order they are specified on the command line or received from the pipeline, waiting for each stack to delete successfully before proceeding to the next one. .PARAMETER BackupTemplate If set, back up the current version of the template stored by CloudFormation, along with the current parameter set if any to files in the current directory. This will assist with undoing any unwanted change. Note that if you have dropped or replaced a database or anything else associcated with stored data, then the data is lost forever! .INPUTS System.String[] You can pipe the names or ARNs of the stacks to delete to this function .OUTPUTS System.String[] ARN(s) of deleted stack(s) else nothing if the stack did not exist. .EXAMPLE Remove-PSCFNStack -StackName MyStack Deletes a single stack. .EXAMPLE Remove-PSCFNStack -StackName MyStack -BackupTemplate As per the first example, but with the previous version of the template and its current parameter set saved to files in the current directory. .EXAMPLE 'DependentStack', 'BaseStack' | Remove-PSCFNStack -Sequential Deletes 'DependentStack', waits for completion, then deletes 'BaseStack'. .EXAMPLE 'Stack1', 'Stack2' | Remove-PSCFNStack -Wait Sets both stacks deleting in parallel, then waits for them both to complete. .EXAMPLE 'Stack1', 'Stack2' | Remove-PSCFNStack Sets both stacks deleting in parallel, and returns immediately. See the CloudFormation console to monitor progress. .EXAMPLE Get-CFNStack | Remove-PSCFNStack You would NOT want to do this, just like you wouldn't do rm -rf / ! It is for illustration only. Sets ALL stacks in the region deleting simultaneously, which would probably trash some stacks and then others would fail due to dependent resources. #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, Position = 0)] [string[]]$StackName, [switch]$Wait, [switch]$Sequential, [switch]$BackupTemplate ) DynamicParam { #Create the RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary New-Object System.Management.Automation.RuntimeDefinedParameterDictionary | New-CredentialDynamicParameters } begin { $credentialArguments = Get-CommonCredentialParameters -CallerBoundParameters $PSBoundParameters } process { # Issue #14 - Get-CFNStackEvents returns timestamp in local time $startTime = [DateTime]::Now $arns = $StackName | ForEach-Object { if (Test-StackExists -StackName $_ -CredentialArguments $credentialArguments) { $arn = (Get-CFNStack -StackName $_ @credentialArguments).StackId if ($BackupTemplate) { Save-TemplateBackup -StackName $arn -CredentialArguments $credentialArguments -OutputPath (Get-Location).Path } Remove-CFNStack -StackName $arn -Force @credentialArguments if ($Sequential -or ($Wait -and ($StackName | Measure-Object).Count -eq 1)) { # Wait for this delete to complete before starting the next Write-Host "Waiting for delete: $arn" if (-not (Wait-PSCFNStack -StackArn $arn -CredentialArguments $credentialArguments -StartTime $startTime)) { throw "Delete unsuccessful" } } else { $arn } } else { Write-Warning "Stack does not exist: $StackName" } } } end { if ($Wait -and ($arns | Measure-Object).Count -gt 0) { Write-Host "Waiting for delete:`n$($arns -join "`n")" Wait-PSCFNStack -StackArn $arns -CredentialArguments $credentialArguments -StartTime $startTime } else { $arns } } } |
