(What is used to change stacks across multiple accounts and Regions in a single operation?)

AStackSets

BStackInstance

CNested stacks

DStack policies

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

StackSets are used to change stacks across multiple AWS accounts and regions in a single operation, enabling centralized management of infrastructure deployments. StackSets allow administrators to create, update, or delete stacks consistently across specified accounts and regions. The WGU Cloud Deployment and Operations Study Guide (Section 5.4, StackSets) states, 'StackSets provide the capability to manage and update stacks across multiple accounts and regions with a single operation, streamlining multi-region deployments.' StackInstance, nested stacks, and stack policies do not support this multi-account, multi-region functionality.

StackInstance is too limited for this scenario. A is definitely the best choice!

I was torn between A and C. Nested stacks are useful too.

StackSets is the way to go, it's like a one-stop-shop for all your stack needs.

I thought nested stacks were for organizing resources within a single stack, so I don't think that's the answer. StackSets sounds more right to me.

I’m leaning towards A) StackSets as well. It seems to fit the description of managing stacks across accounts and regions.

I feel like StackInstances could be relevant too, but I can't recall the exact context. Wasn't there something about them in the last module?

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know StackSets is used for managing stacks across accounts, but I'm not certain if that's the only way to do it in a single operation.
