TimeoutInMinutesoptional - Integer
Explanation in CloudFormation Registry
The
AWS::CloudFormation::Stacktype nests a stack as a resource in a top-level template.You can add output values from a nested stack within the containing template. You use the GetAtt function with the nested stack's logical name and the name of the output value in the nested stack in the format
Outputs.NestedStackOutputName.Important We strongly recommend that updates to nested stacks are run from the parent stack.
When you apply template changes to update a top-level stack, CloudFormation updates the top-level stack and initiates an update to its nested stacks. CloudFormation updates the resources of modified nested stacks, but doesn't update the resources of unmodified nested stacks. For more information, see CloudFormation stack updates.
Note You must acknowledge IAM capabilities for nested stacks that contain IAM resources. Also, verify that you have cancel update stack permissions, which is required if an update rolls back. For more information about IAM and CloudFormation, see Controlling access with AWS Identity and Access Management.
