Managing stacks across accounts and Regions with StackSets

Amazon CloudFormation StackSets extends the capability of stacks by allowing you to create, update, or delete stacks across multiple accounts and Amazon Web Services Regions with a single operation. Using an administrator account, you define and manage a CloudFormation template, and use the template as the basis for provisioning stacks into selected target accounts across specified Amazon Web Services Regions.

A StackSet is a collection of resources in a template, that's deployed across multiple accounts and regions.

This section helps you get started using StackSets, and answers common questions about how to work with and troubleshoot StackSet creation, updates, and deletion.
