createstack.json isn't json

[Steeltalon]

If you try to import it into cloudformation it gives an error about it being invalid YAML.

Using this link from the instructions instead of the github link does work: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linuxacademy/content-aws-csa2019/master/lab_files/01_aws_sa_fundamentals/getting_started_with_cfn/createstack.json

I figured it out:

Click on Create Stack > With New Resources

Select Create Template with Designer, then click Create template in designer

At the bottom of the code/input screen, click on template

Remove the code that is in the space

Copy + paste the raw code from the createstack.json file

At the top, click the check to validate the template

Then, click create stack and proceed with the rest of the lab
