I've reviewed the cloudfront troubleshooting guide and the closest thing that I thought may be a cause was differences between the deployed resources and what the template specifies. So I reverted all the changes I'd made in the dashboard and tried redeploying, but the error persisted. What else can I try? Or is there more info I can provide to shed more light on the problem?

It might be related to the Outputs section?

Outputs:
  DomainName:
    Value: !GetAtt CloudFrontDistribution.DomainName
    Description: Cloudfront DomainName

The error specifically states "Cloudfront" not "CloudFront", and that Description field appears to be the only place in the template that references "Cloudfront". The error specifically calls out a failed resource, so I don't think this is it, but just a thought. Can you share the specific step that fails in the stack events?

    Hey thanks for the input. I don't think it's that either, primarily because that's a reference to a named resource that's spelled like that. These are the events that show failure:

    UPDATE_FAILED: Resource update cancelled
UPDATE_ROLLBACK_IN_PROGRESS: [OtherResource1, OtherResource2,...]
UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE_CLEANUP_IN_PROGRESS (no associated message)
UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE (no associated message)

    Also, I noticed this warning in the cloudformation docs:

    We strongly recommend that updates to nested stacks are run from the parent stack.

    So I tried making a small change in the parent of the referenced stack but it didn't make a difference.

    Hey I want to clarify that Cloudfront is not a typo, it's the name of the resource that's defined by the template file I included with the question. That should mean the error is somewhere within that resource. I suspect that the stack is now in an unrecoverable state but my organization is on the basic plan so I can't request technical support. Do you know any guides/blogs that can help resolve that? This one hasn't helped so far.
