Welcome to Day 6 of our 7-Day DevOps Challenge!

What you'll learn today:
✔️ Understand Infrastructure as Code (IaC) concepts
✔️ Create your first CloudFormation template
✔️ Define AWS resources in YAML format
✔️ Test and troubleshoot templates
✔️ Launch a complete infrastructure stack
✔️ Implement best practices for template organization
