@dheerdotk I had the same issue. Perhaps the serverless.yml syntax has changed this this was posted. I was able to get it to work by updating all the instances where Fn::GetAtt is being called with a string to calling them with an array. For example:

"Fn::GetAtt": ServerlessSecurityGroup.GroupId

should be changed to

Fn::GetAtt: [ServerlessSecurityGroup, GroupId]
