Self Managed Stack Set Deployment Support

[linsona]

Description

Using CDK, we would like to define a template through CDK constructs and deploy as a Self Managed CFN Stack Set.

Related: #66

Working Backwards

• User defines stack set the same way as normal cdk stack
• When user executes cdk deploy it would create a stack set if it does not exist or update an existing stack set + existing stack set instances.

Proposed Scope:

• Create New Self Managed Stack Set
  • https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/APIReference/API_CreateStackSet.html
• Update Existing Self Managed Stack Set
  • Update includes updating existing Stack Set instances as well
  • https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateStackSet.html
  • https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateStackInstances.html
• Ability to set stack set configuration/deployment properties
  • Administration Role, Execution Role, Fault Tolerance, Concurrency, etc.

Out of Scope (May be iteratively added in future):

• Service Managed Stack Set
• Add/Remove stack set instances by Id or OU

Roles

• Driver: @linsona
• Approver(s): (assigned by CDK team)

@linsona can you please check if this might be a duplicate of #66 ?

@eladb it is not, because not all features of StackSets are included in this one (see the "Out of scope" section in #332 (comment)).

It's okay that we don't implement all the features immediately. I still think it's the same RFC.

Closing as dup so we can preserve the history and discussions around StackSets in a single place.
