AWS re:Invent 2016: Infrastructure Continuous Delivery Using AWS CloudFormation (DEV313)

In this session, we will review ways to manage the lifecycle of your dev, test, and production infrastructure using CloudFormation. Learn how to architect your infrastructure through loosely coupled stacks using cross-stack references, tightly coupled nested stacks and other best practices. Learn how to use CloudFormation to provision and manage a continuous deployment pipeline for your infrastructure-as-code. Automate deployment of new development environments as your infrastructure evolves, promote your new architecture for testing, and deploy changes to production.

Are the networkpipeline.yml files available somewhere? I'd love to see the full example in code using the Cross Stack References they demo in this presentation.

This was my favorite session of re:Invent.

I thought this video or this page would contain a link to the GitHub repo where the code behind this was supposed to be available. Can someone from AWS post that here in comments, or let us know where we can find that?

I really want to know how you create the Production Create-VPC/SG/LB Changesets in parallel. I mean there are dependencies here that need to be passed along and trying to use Exported values, Output artefacts won't work for parallel jobs. It's got me stuck right now.

Any chances to get this template? 40:43 Thanks.

Content is good but the presentation is too slow with lot hiccups.. which looses audience for sure.. at present this session could be delivered in 15 mins instead of 51 mins :(
