**To get information about resources that drifted from the stack definition**
The following command displays information about drifted resources for the specified stack. To initiate drift detection, use the ``detect-stack-drift`` command.::
aws cloudformation describe-stack-resource-drifts \
--stack-name my-stack
The output shows an AWS Lambda function that was modified out-of-band::
