After you delete the stack and verify that the resource was retained, you launch another CloudFormation stack with a different name and import the resource. The result is a new stack with a different name from the original (meeting your security guidelines) but with the same resource as the original stack.

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.

To update a AWS CloudFormation stack (AWS CLI) Use the aws cloudformation update-stack command to directly update a stack. You specify the stack, and parameter values and capabilities that you want to update, and, if you want use an updated template, the name of the template.

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.

The new per template limits for the maximum number of resources is 500 (previously 200), parameters is 200 (previously 60), mappings is 200 (previously 100), and outputs is 200 (previously 60). CloudFormation allows you to model and provision cloud resources as code in a safe, predictable, and scalable manner.
