stacksets are the way to deploy stacks across multiple regions and accounts with single template

  • Requires an ADMIN account (AWS organisation)
  • The admin account creates stacksets
  • When updated, all the stacks will gets updated

IAM Permissions

  • Self managed - IAM roles with trusted relationship in both admin and target accounts
  • Service managed - AWS organisations will take care of this
  • AWS organizations will automatically help deploying into new accounts BUT Trusted access must be enabled before any delegated admin accounts can deploy into any accounts
  • ACM automatically handles the renewal of certificates
  • You can mix Spot and On-Demand instances in a Spot Fleet, but not Spot and Reserved instances.
