Support nested stack #227

Closed wbingli closed 10 years ago

wbingli commented 10 years ago

Commands like 'instances' and 'execute' don't support nested stack.

@wbinglee Can you describe your use case a bit more? If you could give a sanitized example of or overview of your cloud formation setup that would be very helpful.

Thanks, Brett

In my case, most of my instances have the same user-data and cloud formation metadata configuration. And my application stack normally has multiple instances. So to avoid duplicating user-data and cloud formation in one huge template, I create one CF template which only launch and configure one instance. And other CF template uses this base template as AWS::CloudFormation::Stack.

So that means my app stack has multiple stack as its resources. And when I use simple_deploy 'instances' command to list all instances in this app stack, it actually cannot find any instances in this app stack.

It would be nice to support nested stack for commands like 'instances' and 'execute'.

@wbinglee I have released a beta version 0.8.2.beta1 with this support. Once we tested it for a few days I will release 0.8.2.

Thanks for the contribution!
