如何使用Python3 Boto3删除AWS CloudFormation的栈（Stacks）

小结

本文记录了使用Python3的Boto3包删除AWS CloudFormation的栈（Stacks）

问题及解决

有关Json文件的输入和输出

json.loads函数是将一个字符串(String)输入转换为字典类型(dictionary)输出
json.dumps函数是将一个字典类型(dictionary)输入转换为字符串(String)输出

当出现JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not dict或者'dict' object has no attribute 'read'的错误时，需要检查以上输入类型是否正确。

对于datetime.datetime not JSON serializable的问题，也就是日期类型无法进行Json序列化，可以使用以下指令解决问题，应该是default=str这个参数起了作用，将日期类型处理为了字符串：

json_formatted_str = json.dumps(task_definition, indent=2, sort_keys=True, default=str)

使用Python3及正则表达式查找字符串包含某个子字符串

使用以下办法：

exp = re.compile(stack_name_to_Search)
stack_name = cfn_stack['StackName']
if re.search(exp, stack_name):....

以上是查找 stack_name 这个字符串是否包含stack_name_to_Search这个子字符串。

使用Python3 Boto3删除AWS CloudFormation的栈（Stacks）

def delete_skms_stack(stack_name):cf_client = boto3.client('cloudformation')#list all the stacks excepts 'DELETED_STACKS'response = cf_client.list_stacks(StackStatusFilter=['CREATE_IN_PROGRESS','CREATE_FAILED','CREATE_COMPLETE','ROLLBACK_IN_PROGRESS','ROLLBACK_FAILED','ROLLBACK_COMPLETE','DELETE_IN_PROGRESS','DELETE_FAILED','UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS','UPDATE_COMPLETE_CLEANUP_IN_PROGRESS','UPDATE_COMPLETE','UPDATE_FAILED','UPDATE_ROLLBACK_IN_PROGRESS','UPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED','UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE_CLEANUP_IN_PROGRESS','UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE','REVIEW_IN_PROGRESS','IMPORT_IN_PROGRESS','IMPORT_COMPLETE','IMPORT_ROLLBACK_IN_PROGRESS','IMPORT_ROLLBACK_FAILED','IMPORT_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE'])#Stack name patternexp = re.compile(stack_name)print('--------------------')print(response['StackSummaries'])for cfn_stack in response['StackSummaries']:stack_name = cfn_stack['StackName']#match = re.search(regex_pattern,stack_name)if re.search(exp, stack_name):#Custome conditions can be implemented heretry:response = cf_client.delete_stack(StackName=stack_name)stack_delete_status = cf_client.describe_stacks(StackName=stack_name)logger.info("Delete stack: " + json.dumps(response))while stack_delete_status['Stacks'][0]['StackStatus'] == 'DELETE_IN_PROGRESS':time.sleep(10)stack_delete_status = cf_client.describe_stacks(StackName=stack_name)logger.info("Delete stack status: " + stack_delete_status['Stacks'][0]['StackStatus'])if stack_delete_status['Stacks'][0]['StackStatus'] == 'DELETE_FAILED':logger.warning('Delete failed. Retry delete')resources = cf_client.delete_stack(StackName=stack_name)return resourceselif stack_delete_status['Stacks'][0]['StackStatus'] == 'DELETE_IN_PROGRESS':continueelse:logger.info("Delete stack complete")except Exception as e:logger.error(e) 

以上代码执行效果如下：

INFO:__main__:Delete stack status: DELETE_IN_PROGRESS
INFO:__main__:Delete stack status: DELETE_IN_PROGRESS
INFO:__main__:Delete stack status: DELETE_IN_PROGRESS
INFO:__main__:Delete stack status: DELETE_IN_PROGRESS
ERROR:__main__:An error occurred (ValidationError) when calling the DescribeStacks operation: Stack with id ECS-Console-V2-Service-sammperso-johnvpc-svc-John-VPC-Cluster-8c3e39c8 does not exist

其中最后一个错误是因为CloudFormation的栈（Stacks）已经被删除，找不到了，所以是正常返回。
