Question:
I would like to clone a cloudformation stack in the same region. Is this possible today using the Cloudformation console?
I have a cloudformation template that takes in a big list of parameters. Many times I want to create an identical stack with just a different stack name. Is there a quick way of doing this using the AWS console?
I am thinking of something along the lines of “Launch more like this” option in EC2.
Answer:
I use the following shell script
