Summary

Completed

In this module, you learned the fundamental concepts of variables and parameters, identified and restricted insecure use of variables and parameters, and moved parameters into a YAML file that protects their kind. You also explored limiting variables that can be set at queue time and validated that mandatory variables are present and set correctly.
