Description

## Overview

When we run `cloudsite verify`, the drift detection fails with a bunch of resources failing to detect drift based on "Internal Error"s. Some moderate googling failed to turn up anything helpful. [One post](https://repost.aws/questions/QUMDmQpSG7QQ6-kl6nInkTmQ/cloudformation-internal-failure-on-drift-detection-with-certain-resources) suggested that checking individual resources might succeed, but when we tested this (using `aws` CLI) wasn't true in our case and it failed even when just checking the individual resource.

Is this a bug on the AWS side of things?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with `cloudsite verify`, then compare it with drift checks run through the `aws` CLI for individual resources. Determine whether the internal errors are actionable in cloudsite or originate from AWS; done means a confirmed fix or a documented explanation and reproducible limitation.
