Lab 2

What you will do in this lab:

Using the provided cloudformation template build a taskcat config that uses psuedo-parameters

We will use override to inject a LicenseToken and dynamically inject AvailiblityZone values during testing

  • Use taskcat overrides pass inputs into the stack that you do not want in the project_root/gitrepo (secrets like LicenseKeys or APITokens, etc. Or account specific values like EC2 KeyPair names, or Rooute53 domain names)

  • psuedo-parameters can be used to inject dynamic values (like a defined number of Availability Zones for a particular region, random strings, or S3 bucket names)

To get started navigate to the lab2/cfn-project folder in your IDE.
