Explanation in CloudFormation Registry
Provisions a state machine. A state machine consists of a collection of states that can do work (
Taskstates), determine to which states to transition next (Choicestates), stop an execution with an error (Failstates), and so on. State machines are specified using a JSON-based, structured language.
