How to view which Regions a StackSet has stack instances deployed to.

Use the DescribeStackSets API to output a list of Regions. This list consists of Regions where a given StackSet has stack instances deployed.

In the following example, the StackSet named "MyStackSet" has stack instances deployed in Regions "us-east-1" and "us-west-2":


{
    "StackSet": {
        "StackSetName": "MyStackSet",
        //...
        "Regions": [
            "us-east-1",
            "us-west-2"
        ]
    }
}
