Research direction

The issue names cfn_manage and the stop-environment/start-environment commands; inspect open pull request #68 first, then trace those command entry points. Done means each command accepts --tag KEY=VALUE and applies the requested action to every matching CloudFormation stack.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

cfn-manage enhancement wontfix

At the moment a scheduled job has to be created for each stack that needs to be stopped and started or other additional automation has to be build to facilitate the stack lookup.

This functionality could be added to cfn_manage to lookup up a group of stacks based upon a common tag key and value placed on the stack

for example

cfn_manage stop-environment --tag StopStack=true
cfn_manage start-environment --tag StartStack=true
