Description

### Name of the resource

AWS::CloudFormation::Stack

### Resource name

_No response_

### Description

As per the CX request, They have asked for a feature which will auto identify the dependent resources and deploy them first without using the "DependsOn" feature. For example, if CX is creating an ECS service which is based on ELB then stack should automatically detect and should generate the ELB first and then the ECS service. So that it will decrease the manual efforts of adding "DependsOn".

Research direction

Start by reviewing the AWS::CloudFormation::Stack resource behavior and the existing DependsOn feature, then examine how ECS services and ELB references express dependencies. Done would mean CloudFormation automatically identifies those dependencies and deploys the ELB before the ECS service without requiring manual DependsOn entries.
