There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "It is to be noted that the meta information should always be included for all SAM, which includes AWSTemplateFormatVersion and Transform. This would tell CloudFormation that the code you have written is an AWS SAM code and a serverless application."
A block of code is set as follows:
AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'
Transform: AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31
