(cdk-pipelines): Long CloudFormation prepare step causes S3 Request Expired error

See original GitHub issue

Recently, when trying to deploy a change that had a large-ish change-set, the Prepare step for a stack in one of my stages took a particularly long time (~12 minutes). After this time, the Prepare step failed with an S3 Request Expired error (see below).

I was able to work around this issue by splitting my change into multiple smaller commits. I’m not really sure what’s happening during this prepare step (I assume it’s creating the CFN change-set and uploading it to S3).

Reproduction Steps

Make a change that results in a large changeset (~50 CW alarms, with complex metrics containing nested maths expressions in my case).
Push the change.

What did you expect to happen?

A successful deployment of the stack.

What actually happened?

The stack spent ~12 minutes in the CloudFormation Prepare step in the first application stage, after which it failed with the following error:

Action execution failed
S3 error: Request has expired For more information check http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/ErrorResponses.html (Service: AmazonCloudFormation; Status Code: 400; Error Code: ValidationError; Request ID: f974d950-7771-496a-a9d6-d544848fd316)

Going to close this ticket as it’s not actionable for CDK. The CloudFormation investigators can still use this ticket to respond, though.

If weeks go by without response, you can try re-engaging through Customer Support or this GitHub project: https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-coverage-roadmap

I’ve linked CodePipeline team to this ticket. That’s all I can do, unfortunately.
