HOWTO -- Stack Layers #2

What is the recommended way to overcome the 200 resources limit in CloudFormation? Since the generator creates one template per account, I know I'm eventually going to hit the limit in CloudFormation.

Happy to hear from the community on this one. I don't have a specific answer.

All I can suggest is using seperate config.yaml for various categories. Perhaps one for base roles, and another for workload roles etc.

Hopefully in the future either the resource limits will increase, or nesting will become easier.
