What is an AWS CloudFormation Template?
For more complex validations, as well as basic syntax checks, you can use additional tools in your CI/CD pipelines, such as CloudFormation Linter (cfn-lint) and CloudFormation Rain (rain fmt). Another way to validate your templates is to use an IDE extension to provide real-time validation during authoring.
