How to specify stack creation and rollback timeout?
See original GitHub issueVery often (especially with CustomResources) Cloudformation fails to create the stack - BUT it takes about 1 hour for Cloudformation to recognize this and then another hour to rollback. This is incredibly frustrating if you try to get things done!
Is there a way to set a timeout to lets say 5 minutes for stack creation and rollback to speed up trial and error development and deployment?

@eladb this does not address the issue. What folks are really looking for is the CDK equivalent to
--timeout-in-minutesthat is part of the AWS CLI today. Even if this was something that is set from the CDK CLI that would be more than acceptable.There is support for timeout in the CloudFormation (see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/cfn-console-add-tags.html) but I can’t find how to use this in CDK. I am interested in this feature as well, waiting that much for a rollback is painful.
