Support setting TimeoutInMinutes when creating stacks #691

Closed rouge8 closed 5 years ago

rouge8 commented 5 years ago

CloudFormation's create stack API has a TimeoutInMinutes parameter that is useful to set when you have stacks that are very slow to create (e.g. long RDS provisioning times). The AWS docs don't mention this, but it seems to have a default of 60 minutes: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/APIReference/API_CreateStack.html

Ahhh we had a timeout explicitly set in a nested stack, so there is likely not actually a default timeout 😌
