Update an formation

PUT 

/api/v1/formations/:formation_id

Applies a new template to the formation. Resources are created, updated, or deleted to reconcile the current state with the desired state.

A template-shape error is refused with 400. A deploy failure is not: the operation ran, so the formation is returned with 200 and status: "failed", and error explains why. Read status — a 2xx here means the deploy was attempted, not that it worked. The builtin CLI exits non-zero on that body so update-formation && … does not lie.

A deploy that replaced a resource and could not delete the superseded one answers status: "active" with error.code: "FORMATION_REPLACE_CLEANUP_FAILED" — the desired state is realised, and error.meta.failures names every resource still live. The next deploy retries the disposal.
