When you create a nested stack, you must specify a name for the nested stack using the AWS::CloudFormation::Stack resource. For example: Resources: MyNestedStack: Type: AWS::CloudFormation::Stack Properties: TemplateURL: Parameters: ...

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.

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.

To create a stack you run the aws cloudformation create-stack command. You must provide the stack name, the location of a valid template, and any input parameters. Parameters are separated with a space and the key names are case sensitive.

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.

A stack set lets you create stacks in AWS accounts across regions by using a single CloudFormation template. A stack set's CloudFormation template defines all the resources in each stack. As you create the stack set, specify the template to use, in addition to any parameters and capabilities that template requires.

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.
