I deployed a user with CloudFormation and wanted to update the stack to match the new output naming convention I wrote about in another post.

When I try to perform the deployment of the template where I updated the resource logical name to lowercase and change the outputs it gives me this error:

oot-orgadmin already exists in stack arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-2:xxxxxxxxxxx:stack/rootadminrole-iam-user-root-orgadmin/

I suppose it’s griping because I changed the logical resource name, but it seems like CloudFormation could figure out it’s the same resource just a different case in the logical name?

Maybe not but if I change the logical name back to uppercase it works.

So instead of a lowercase U in User I have to restore the original logical name:

And change my outputs to an uppercase U taht are referencing that logical ID:
