Working with CloudFormation Nested Stacks

In this hands-on lab, we will create a nested stack from the templates provided. We will use the two templates to create a nested stack that will implement a child template, which will then create an S3 bucket with a policy of no retain. This child template can be reused repeatedly whenever an S3 bucket of this type is needed.
