Replacement instead of Update = CRITICAL — CloudFormation destroys the old resource and creates a new one; for stateful resources (RDS, DynamoDB, ElastiCache) this means DATA LOSS unless DeletionPolicy is Retain or SnapshotEngine, DBInstanceIdentifier, MasterUsername, AvailabilityZone, StorageEncrypted changes all force replacementTableName, KeySchema (partition/sort key), BillingMode change from PAY_PER_REQUEST to PROVISIONED (on some versions)InstanceType change on instances without stop/start support, ImageId change, AvailabilityZone changeEngine, CacheNodeType on some cluster modes, NumCacheClusters reductionFunctionName change forces replacement; Runtime, Handler, Code are in-place updatesBucketName change = REPLACEMENT — and S3 bucket names are globally unique; the old name may not be reclaimableMultiAZ change = triggers brief failover (60-120 seconds downtime)AllocatedStorage increase = online for most engines; DECREASE is not supported and failsInstanceType change = requires stop/start; brief downtime during transitionLaunchTemplate version change = triggers rolling replacement of instances based on update policyTaskDefinition revision change = triggers new deployment; old tasks drain based on DeregistrationDelayDisplayName change = no operational impactDeletionPolicy: Snapshot or DeletionPolicy: Retain = CRITICAL — stack deletion or resource removal destroys the database with no backup; DEFAULT behavior is DeleteDeletionPolicy: Retain = CRITICAL — table and all data destroyed on removalDeletionPolicy: Retain = HIGH — bucket must be empty before CloudFormation can delete it; if not empty, stack deletion fails and leaves the stack in DELETE_FAILED stateDeletionPolicy: Snapshot = HIGH — data volumes destroyed without backupDeletionPolicy: Snapshot = MEDIUM — cache data lost; acceptable if cache is rebuilt from persistent data sourceDeletionPolicy changed from Retain to Delete = CRITICAL — previously protected resource is now vulnerable to stack deletionDeletionPolicy removed entirely = CRITICAL — reverts to default behavior which is Delete for most resourcesUpdateReplacePolicy missing when DeletionPolicy is set = MEDIUM — DeletionPolicy protects against stack deletion, but UpdateReplacePolicy protects against in-stack replacement; they serve different purposes and both should be set on stateful resourcesMetadata section that doesn't match actual metadata = drift indicatorDesiredCapacity — stack update resets to template valueDefault values that operators override via console — the override is not captured in the template; stack recreation uses the default, not the overridden valueConditions that reference parameters — changing a parameter default can flip conditions, enabling or disabling entire resource branchesMappings used with AWS::Region — ensure all required regions have entries; deploying to a new region with a missing mapping entry causes creation failureFn::ImportValue referencing another stack's Export = HIGH — creates an implicit dependency; the exporting stack cannot be updated to change or remove the export while any stack imports it; this creates stack lock-inExport name change = CRITICAL — all importing stacks immediately break; CloudFormation prevents this but nested reference chains can be complexDeletionPolicy: Retain on resources inside = the nested stack itself may be deleted but retained resources persist as orphans outside CloudFormation managementAWS::IAM::Policy with Action: "*" = CRITICAL — administrative access to every AWS serviceAWS::IAM::Policy with Resource: "*" on sensitive actions = CRITICAL — action applies to every resource in the accountAWS::IAM::Role with trust policy allowing Principal: "*" = CRITICAL — any AWS account can assume the roleAWS::IAM::Role trust policy without Condition restricting sts:ExternalId for cross-account roles = HIGH — susceptible to confused deputy attackAWS::IAM::ManagedPolicy with Path: "/" attached to multiple roles = MEDIUM — broad attachment scope; change affects all attached rolesPermissionsBoundary on IAM roles created by the stack = MEDIUM — roles have no upper bound on permissions; a policy change can escalate beyond intended scopeAWS::IAM::InstanceProfile change = HIGH — requires instance stop/start or replacement to take effectUPDATE_ROLLBACK_FAILED state = CRITICAL — stack is stuck; requires manual intervention via ContinueUpdateRollback with resources to skip, or potentially stack recreationDependsOn chains that form a cycle prevent stack creation; CloudFormation detects this at validation timeDependsOn specifies ordering; missing DependsOn on dependent resources causes race conditions--no-rollback flag = CRITICAL — if update fails, stack remains in UPDATE_FAILED state with partial changes applied; no automatic recovery--on-failure DO_NOTHING = HIGH — failed stack persists with partial resources; useful for debugging but dangerous in automationReplacement: True on multiple resources = HIGH — if any replacement fails mid-update, rollback must recreate the ORIGINAL resources which may fail (name conflicts, quota limits)
