##########################
Ever wondered which challenges you encounter when migrating 500+ CloudFormation stacks in a single move? We did exactly that and share what we've learned. In this session, you'll learn:
- which approach we've taken to accomplish the goal,
- what risks we identified ahead of time,
- and the unexpected challenges we encountered along the way.
This specifically covers challenges with deleting and importing CloudFormation resources and reaching certain AWS limits. In the end, we'll share which improvements could have saved us some time and nerves. If you're a developer working with CloudFormation (or infrastructure as code in general) and looking for practical insights, this talk is for you!
