Validation, Linting, and Deploying the Stack
So far, we have not deployed our stacks yet. While we have learned the features of the template, this knowledge has no value if we do not provision our resources.
This chapter is about the checks we need to perform before provisioning our resources, various ways to deploy the stack, and which steps are being performed.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Validating the template
- Using a linter for best practices on templates
- Provisioning our stack
- Handling errors
- Working with drifts
