AWS CloudFormation StackSets skips suspended accounts for faster deployments
AWS CloudFormation StackSets is updating the deployment experience for CREATE, UPDATE, DELETE, IMPORT TO STACKSET, and DRIFT stack set operations to skip suspended AWS accounts during deployments. With this launch, StackSets will skip target AWS accounts that are suspended and flag the corresponding stack instances as SKIPPED_SUSPENDED_ACCOUNT instead of FAILED. Customers suspend their AWS accounts for reasons such as reducing usage of cloud resources for non-production environments during periods of low demand. This feature enhances deployment speed of stack set operations and reduces the number of FAILED stack set operations.
