Provision and Configure a Cage

This Nucleator project runs tasks which provision and configure Cages.  The provision step causes the infrastructure to exist so that you may deploy applications.  The configure step assigns various attributes to that infrastructure representing best-practices around security, network routing, etc.  Because of the implementation of this process, the project may be run multiple times for a given Cage.  If you update your siteconfig or other internals in the CloudFormation templates, you can run this project to have those updates applied to the Cage.
