Stack Name Form For Free

No, it's not possible to change an existing stack's name, either with or without the CDK. Under the hood, cdk deploy sets the stack name with the CloudFormation CreateChangeSet API (then ExecuteChangeSet) on create. The stack name is a unique, immutable id in CloudFormation.

A nested stack name in CloudFormation is the name given to a nested stack when it is created. It is a unique identifier that is used to reference the nested stack from within the parent stack. When you create a nested stack in CloudFormation, you must provide a name for the nested stack.

A stack name can contain only alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive) and hyphens. It must start with an alphabetic character and can't be longer than 128 characters. In the Parameters section, specify parameters that are defined in the stack template. You can use or change any parameters with default values.

You can use AWS CloudFormation Designer to modify a stack's template, and then submit it to AWS CloudFormation to update the stack. Typically, when you modify a stack, you need to get a copy of its template, modify the template in a text editor, and then use CloudFormation to update the stack.

It must start with an alphabetical character and can't be longer than 128 characters. Structure containing the template body with a minimum length of 1 byte and a maximum length of 51,200 bytes. For more information, go to Template anatomy in the CloudFormation User Guide.

If so, then you probably know that the only way to change the stack name is to delete the original stack and recreate a new one with the updated name. This task might seem easy enough, until you discover that you still need the resources that were deployed with the original stack.

CloudFormation stack names have the following restrictions: Only alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive) and hyphens. Start with an alphabetic character. Can't be longer than 128 characters.
