AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (legacy) — Question 798

A user is creating a Cloudformation stack. Which of the below mentioned limitations does not hold true for Cloudformation?

Answer options

• A. One account by default is limited to 100 templates
• B. The user can use 60 parameters and 60 outputs in a single template
• C. The template, parameter, output, and resource description fields are limited to 4096 characters
• D. One account by default is limited to 20 stacks

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is the correct answer because AWS CloudFormation does not impose a default limit of 100 templates per account; instead, templates are simply documents and are not restricted in quantity this way. The other options represent established default limits of CloudFormation (such as the historical default limit of 20 stacks per account, and the 60 parameters/outputs and 4096-character description limits per template) making them true statements and therefore incorrect answers to this question.
