Experimental features

Some features are experimental. They work, but their format or behavior can change in a minor release. You must turn each one on with --experimental, so you do not use one by accident.

Feature How to turn it on
cc: deploy with the Cloud Control API -x or --experimental on every cc command
forecast: predict deploy failures -x or --experimental
module: modules in CodeArtifact -x or --experimental on every module command
!Rain::Module, and packages in the Rain: section -x on pkg, --experimental on deploy
S3 bucket metadata --experimental on deploy and rm

The Modules section is not experimental and needs no flag.

-x means --no-exec on deploy

On pkg, forecast, cc and module, -x is short for --experimental. On deploy, -x is short for --no-exec, and --experimental has no short form. cfnrain deploy -x creates a change set and does not execute it.

In scripts, write the long flag names, so the intent is clear.
