Tag: AWS CloudFormation stacks

Here are two patterns that you can add to AWS CloudFormation to customize automated deployments based on values provided during the launch. The first pattern is for designing nested stacks that are optional. The second pattern allows you to change template URLs based on the current scenario.

AWS CloudFormation nested stacks execute in the same account and AWS Region as the parent stack. This post shows you how to nest stacks in different accounts, Regions, or IAM identities.

Instead of manually cleaning up your temporary AWS CloudFormation stacks, use this mechanism to automatically delete your demonstration stacks after a specified amount of time has elapsed.
