psm stack import-template

You cannot run psm stack import-template on an existing template file unless the template version is updated to a higher value from the existing version. Existing stacks are not affected by this action.

Note:

The format and contents of the template file are automatically validated. Validation errors are provided in the output of this command. You can also validate a template file without importing it by issuing a validate-template command against the template file.

Syntax

psm stack import-template -f|--template filePath 
    [-u|--templateUrl url-for-stack-template
    [-of|--output-format json|html|short]

Parameters

All parameters are required unless otherwise noted.
