Objective

In this lab, you will learn how you can use taskcat to test your cloudformation templates in an AWS region.

First step to use Taskcat is to create a config file where you define various details about your CloudFormation project such as project name, Cloudformation template you want to test, AWS regions where you want to test your templates, etc.
