Is there a way to rename a CloudFormation stack name?

Question

I have a CloudFormation stack (which is generated from stack_master), Resources are already created but I would like to put it into serverless framework. I have already added the resources section but It creates new stack. I want the stack to update existing stack and any updates to take from there. Thanks

Answer 1

Its not possible to rename a stack. You have to delete it, and create new one with the name you want.

Answer 2

No longer the case as of 2022 - it looks as though you can retain stack resources whilst deleting the stack containing then, and import those resources into a new stack tldr; I have not done this, just reading the docs https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/infrastructure-and-automation/keep-your-aws-resources-when-you-rename-an-aws-cloudformation-stack/
