Build a project from scratch

Write a template that creates a vpc with a private subnet and deploys an ec2 instance into it. This lab will give you insight into the cfn-lint IDE integration, which eases authoring templates. It also gives you an opportunity to build a taskcat config from scratch.

Template should have the following:

  • Allow users to provide the subnet CIDR block and AZ name via Parameters.
  • Pass taskcat tests in us-east-1, us-west-2 and eu-west-1

To ensure your stack deploys as quickly as possible, define as few vpc resources as possible, NAT gateways in particular can add a few minutes to a vpc deployment
