Is there a way to rename a cloudformation stack name?

I have a cloudformation stack (which is generated from stack_master), Resources are already created but I would like to put it into serverless framework. I have already added the resources section but It creates new stack. I want the stack to update existing stack and any updates to take from there. Thanks

Note AWS CloudFormation only supports one level of nesting using resource import. This means that you can't import a stack into a child stack or import a stack that has children. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/resource-import.html

No longer the case as of 2022 - it looks as though you can retain stack resources whilst deleting the stack containing then, and import those resources into a new stack tldr; I have not done this, just reading the docs https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/infrastructure-and-automation/keep-your-aws-resources-when-you-rename-an-aws-cloudformation-stack/

For most resources, changing the logical name of a resource is equivalent to deleting that resource and replacing it with a new one. Any other resources that depend on the renamed resource also need to be updated and might cause to be replaced. Other resources require you to update a property (not just the logical name) in order to initiate an update.

So Logically you have to delete the stack and create a new one as you want.

Its not possible to rename a stack. You have to delete it, and create new one with the name you want.
