#  update-stack-set  Â¶

##  Description  Â¶

Updates the stack set, and associated stack instances in the specified
accounts and Amazon Web Services Regions.

Even if the stack set operation created by updating the stack set fails
(completely or partially, below or above a specified failure tolerance), the
stack set is updated with your changes. Subsequent CreateStackInstances calls
on the specified stack set use the updated stack set.
