Description

Having been spoilt by tools like CDK I crave for feedback from the AWS CLI when running `aws cloudformation deploy`. I would be happy even with a flag that can be toggled to run the `describe-stack-events` for you when a failure occurs. In most cases, this is more than necessary to get feedback from CloudFormation during an automated deployment via CI/CD as otherwise there needs to be custom logic that does that.
Obviously a functionality similar to CDK where the events are printed as they happen would be great but that's more of a luxury thing than a necessity.
