Demo

Monitor all stack resource progress live (Interrupt with Ctrl-C):

aws-cloudformation-stack-status --watch --region $region --stack-name $stack --profile $profile

The --stack-name flag is optional, and multiple stacks can be monitored together:

watch aws-cloudformation-stack-status --watch $webstack $dbstack $dnsstack

One time display of latest status for each stack resource:

aws-cloudformation-stack-status --region $region --stack-name $stack

--stack-name: Optional.
--watch: Optional. This script will run the watch command to check the response from aws-cli every second
--region: Set the aws-cli region. aws-cli will use the default region if set via environment variables or config file.
--color: Optional. Display output with terminal coloring similar to how it is displayed on the AWS Console Stack listing

This script does require that you have already installed and configured the aws-cli.
