Working with CloudFormation Condition Functions

This hands-on lab allows the student to create a condition function in a CloudFormation template. The condition function will determine if the VPC deployed by the template will be configured with default or dedicated tenancy. The student can either take the challenge of completing the lab without looking at the solution template, or they follow along with the solution offered in the second video.
