Template

Template is a YAML input file which defines all the requests and other metadata for a template.

id string

ID is the unique id for the template.

Good IDs

A good ID uniquely identifies what the requests in the template are doing. Let's say you have a template that identifies a git-config file on the webservers, a good name would be git-config-exposure. Another example name is azure-apps-nxdomain-takeover.
