+# Documentation for the cloudformation module
+
+This holds all the informations about scripts and templates i created in this module
+
+## Lab 1.1.1
+
+- s3_1.yaml template will create a simple s3 bucket.
+- I have used the aws cli tool to deploy the stack
+  - aws cloudformation deploy --template-file s3.yaml --stack-name s3-bucket-create
+- If we notice, the bucket has been named: s3-bucket-create-s3bucket-15s1dsy5yhdfa
+
+## Lab 1.1.2: Stack Parameters
+
+- s3-params.yaml template will create the bucket and name it using the parameter file name.json
+- command used to update the stack is:
+  - aws cloudformation deploy --template-file s3-params.yaml --stack-name s3-bucket-create --profile labmfa --parameter-overrides file://name.json
+
+## Lab 1.1.3: Pseudo-Parameters
+
+- s3-pseudo.yaml has the template
+- This will prefix the bucketname with the aws account id
+
+### Scripts
+
+- exec.sh: This script does the cli kick of the deployment.
+
+## Lab 1.2.1: Cross-Referencing Resources within a Template
+
+- s3-iam.yaml creates the stack
+
+## Lab 1.2.2: Exposing Resource Details via Exports
+
+- updated s3-iam.yaml to update the stack
+- exec.sh has the commands used to list all stack exports
+
+## Lab 1.2.3: Importing another Stack's Exports
+
+- s3-import.yaml creates the stack
