How to Pass the Output of Cloudformation to the shell script

I am writing a cloudformation template and its output some values in the "Output" section. I want to retrieve these values from a shell script to perform some other operations. If that is possible, can someone help me providing some example?

Regards Pradeep

As @PicoutputCIs said, you can use aws cloudformation describe-stacks. But you don't have to parse yourself. You can let aws parse for you with --query. For example:

$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --query Stacks[].Outputs[*].[OutputKey,OutputValue] --output text
SomeKey       SomeValue
SomeOtherKey       SomeOtherValue

For more options see: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/controlling-output.html

You should be able to get at the Outputs from a stack from a shell script through the AWS CLI using the aws cloudformation describe-stacks command, as described in the AWS CloudFormation documentation, and parsing the JSON output returned.
