Obtaining a Stack Instance

Function

ShowStackInstance

This API obtains details about a stack instance, including the name and ID of its associated stack, creation time, and information about variable overriding.

URI

GET /v1/stack-sets/{stack_set_name}/stack-instances/{stack_instance_addr}

Table 1 Path Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

stack_set_name

Yes

String

Stack set name. The name is unique within its domain (domain_id) and region. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed. The name is case-sensitive and must start with a letter.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 128

stack_instance_addr

Yes

String

Unique address of a stack instance. The address combines region and stack_domain_id using slashes (/, whose escape codes are %2f or %2F). The address is unique within its domain (domain_id), region, and stack set (stack_set_name).

Minimum: 1

Table 2 Query Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

stack_set_id

No

String

Unique ID of a stack set.

It is a UUID generated by RFS when a stack set is created.

Stack set names are unique only at one specific time, so you can create a stack set named HelloWorld and another stack set with the same name after deleting the first one.

For parallel development in a team, users may want to ensure that the stack set they operate is the one created by themselves, not the one with the same name created by other teammates after deleting the previous one. Therefore, they can use this ID for strong matching.

RFS ensures that the ID of each stack set is different and does not change with updates. If the stack_set_id value is different from the current stack set ID, 400 is returned.

Minimum: 36

Maximum: 36

Description

Client-Request-Id

Yes

String

Minimum: 36

Maximum: 128

Response Parameters

Status code: 200

Minimum: 36

Maximum: 36

stack_set_name

String

Name of a stack set. The name is unique within its domain (domain_id) and region. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed. The name is case-sensitive and must start with a letter.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 128

status

String

Stack instance status can be:

  • WAIT_IN_PROGRESS: The stack instance is waiting for operation.

  • CANCEL_COMPLETE - The stack instance operation is canceled.

  • OPERATION_IN_PROGRESS: The stack instance operation is in progress.

  • OPERATION_FAILED: The stack instance operation failed.

  • INOPERABLE - The stack instance cannot be operated.

  • OPERATION_COMPLETE: The stack instance operation is complete.

Enumeration values:

  • WAIT_IN_PROGRESS

  • CANCEL_COMPLETE

  • OPERATION_IN_PROGRESS

  • OPERATION_FAILED

  • INOPERABLE

  • OPERATION_COMPLETE

status_message

String

When the stack instance is in an INOPERABLE or OPERATION_FAILED state, brief error information is displayed for debugging.

stack_id

String

Unique stack ID.

It is a UUID generated by RFS when a stack is created.

Stack names are unique at one specific time, so you can create a stack named HelloWorld and another stack with the same name after deleting the first one.

For parallel development in a team, users may want to ensure that the stack they operate is the one created by themselves, not the one with the same name created by other teammates after deleting the previous one. Therefore, they can use this ID for strong matching.

RFS ensures that the ID of each stack is different and does not change with updates. If the stack_id value is different from the current stack ID, 400 is returned.

stack_name

String

Stack name. The name is unique within its domain (domain_id), region, and project (project_id). Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed. The name is case-sensitive and must start with a letter.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 128

stack_domain_id

String

Tenant ID of the stack associated with the stack instance.

latest_stack_set_operation_id

String

Stack set operation ID for the latest deployment of the stack instance.

It is a UUID generated by RFS when a stack set operation is created.

region

String

Region of the stack associated with the stack instance.

create_time

String

Time when a stack instance is created. It uses a UTC (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ) format, for example, 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z.

update_time

String

Time when a stack instance is updated. It uses a UTC (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ) format, for example, 1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z.

var_overrides

var_overrides object

Overridden variables of the stack instance.

If you use the CreateStackInstances or UpdateStackInstances APIs to override variables on the stack instance, this field returns the latest overridden variables recorded by the stack instance.

If this field is not returned, use the variables recorded in the stack set to deploy the instance.

Table 5 var_overrides

Parameter

Type

Description

vars_uri_content

String

File content corresponding to vars_uri.

vars_body

String

Content of the HCL variable file. Transferring parameters is supported by the HCL template. The same template can use different parameters for different purposes.

  • The vars_body uses the tfvars format of HCL. You can submit the content in the .tfvars file to the vars_body.

  • RFS supports vars_structure, vars_body, and vars_uri. If they declare the same variable, error 400 will be reported.

  • If vars_body is too large, you can use vars_uri.

  • Stack sets do not encrypt sensitive data. RFS uses, logs, displays, and stores vars_body as plaintext.

Status code: 400
