# DescribeTemplateAlias


Use the `DescribeTemplateAlias` operation to describe the template alias for a template. To use this operation, you need the ID of the template that is using the alias that you want to describe. You can use the `ListTemplates` operation to list all templates and their corresponding template IDs.

The parameter value for `alias-name` can be `$LATEST`.
