Hi all, I’m new to the serverless framework and I’m following a tutorial on using serverless framework with the aws-nodejs-typescript template

`sls create --template aws-nodejs-typescript --path myproject`

I was expecting a serverless.yml for the configuration, but it seems that I get a serverless.ts and the configuration is in JSON instead of YAML, making it much more difficult to write accurately and follow the tutorial.

The serverless docs still seem to suggest that it would be YAML [https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/serverless.yml/](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/serverless.yml/)

Is there a way to work in YAML, please?
