Two tools stand in for an AWS 24 account in this chapter. LocalStack 63,725 answers the AWS APIs on one local port, so templates really deploy; cfn-lint 2,641 checks templates against AWS's resource schemas before anything deploys. This section explains which LocalStack you can still run for free, starts it, points the AWS CLI 24 at it, configures cfn-lint for BookNest's infra/ directory, and lists which CloudFormation 24 features the rest of the chapter runs for real.
