githubReproducible Assets for CloudFormation StacksReproducible Assets for CloudFormation Stacks When CloudFormation is used to create the infrastructure or application it is important to take a look at the artifacts that are generated and deployed. When it comes to artifacts and especially Java artifacts (jar or zip files) there are some important requirements that have to be followed. Otherwise, the deployment might take longer than required, or in cases where the CDK Pipeline is used to deploy the application the pipeline can go into an infinite loop updating itself over and over again.
