**To detect drift for a resource**

The following ``detect-stack-resource-drift`` example checks a resource named ``MyFunction`` in a stack named ``MyStack`` for drift::

    aws cloudformation detect-stack-resource-drift \
       --stack-name MyStack \
       --logical-resource-id MyFunction

The output shows an AWS Lambda function that was modified out-of-band::
