Description

Follow-on from #41. This is often noticed or discussed, but not sure it's widely understood. Things to cover (with links):

  • What is parallelized (prior to 2013 there wasn't parallelization)
  • What CloudFormation scenarios can be slower than non-CloudFormation API usage?

Contributor guide
