The command serverless create --template ${template_name} is used to create a new serverless service or project using a specific template.

Here's a breakdown of each component:

• serverless: This is the command-line interface (CLI) tool that allows you to build, deploy, and manage serverless applications. It provides a variety of functionalities for easier development and deployment.

• create: This is a command within the serverless CLI used to create a new serverless service or project.

• --template: This is an option that specifies the template to use for creating the service. Templates provide a starting point or a predefined structure for your serverless application. They typically contain examples, configuration files, and boilerplate code specific to different frameworks or cloud providers.

• ${template_name}: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the template you want to use. You would replace ${template_name} with the desired template name, for example, aws-nodejs or azure-python.

So, when you run the command serverless create --template ${template_name}, it will create a new serverless service or project using the specified template. The resulting project will include the necessary files and configuration based on the chosen template, providing a foundation for building your serverless application.
