Today, Amazon CloudFormation StackSets increased the default for three service quotas: number of stack instances per stack set, number of stack sets per management account, and number of concurrent stack instance operations in a single Region per management account. You can now (1) deploy 100,000 stack instances per stack set (previously 2,000), (2) create 1,000 stack sets in your management account (previously 100), and (3) run 10,000 concurrent stack instance operations in a single Region per management account (previously 3,500). See Amazon CloudFormation quotas for the latest service quotas.

StackSets extends the functionality of CloudFormation stacks, and enables you to create, update, or delete stacks across multiple Amazon Web Services accounts and Regions with a single operation. With this launch, you can scale your stack instance deployments from a single management account by 40x, and minimize creation of management accounts to support multiple stack sets by 9x. You can use StackSets in China for bootstrapping Amazon Web Services account, baselining configuration, deploying cross account data collection systems, setting up disaster recovery, and solving other use cases for multi-accounts and regions.

These new StackSets limits are now available in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. To get started with Amazon CloudFormation StackSets, refer to StackSets getting started page.
