Hi,

I would suggest to solve this incrementally: do you have a working template for a stack containing a stackset deployed in multiple regions? This is working: I have such a thing live in my account. When you get this to work, you can try to get the second level of embedding working.

Best,

Didier

Hello.

According to the GitHub issue below, stack sets may not be supported by the "aws cloudformation package" command yet.  
https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/5590

There was information that it could be avoided by using SAM CLI.

It appears that you can also work around the issue by using Rain, a command-line tool for working with CloudFormation templates and stacks.
