The AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) CLI is a tool to build serverless applications that are defined using AWS SAM templates. The CLI consists of commands that allow you to define, test, and deploy your serverless applications.
In this lab, you will work with the AWS SAM CLI in an IDE environment that is configured to an AWS account. The IDE environment will allow you to initialize, configure, and deploy a quick start application to AWS, without using the AWS console directly. You will deploy a simple Hello World application to experience the easy-to-use commands provided by the AWS SAM CLI.
