Create a S3 bucket with the help of CloudFormation.

1. Create a CloudFormation template that will create a S3 bucket named learn-cloudformation-$username. Replace $username with your username (e.g. awittig).
2. Create a CloudFormation stack based on your template.

1. Open stub.yaml with an editor of your choice. The stub file contains a skeleton to start from.
2. Add an AWSTemplateFormatVersion definition to your template (see Template anatomy).
3. Add a Description to your template (see Template anatomy).
4. Add a Resources section to your template (see Template anatomy).
5. Add a S3 bucket to the Resources section of your template (see Resource Type: S3 bucket).
