This looks like an interesting project, but what makes it different from the CloudFormer tool already provided by CloudFormation?
On a slight aside, among the many features I wish CloudFormation supported, one of the biggest is the ability to create a new stack and fold existing resources into it, including highlighting but allowing any discrepencies. If you didn't develop with CloudFormation from the beginning (or perhaps are migrating from Terraform) then having to move your environment "sideways" into a new stack can be pretty painful.
- web007 10y agoCloudFormer requires you to run an EC2 instance to get access to your environment. I never understood the reasoning behind that, other than least-common denominator within AWS. Since they already publish a decent SDK and have decent APIs this approach makes much more sense to me - list your set of stuff via the API you're already using, then munger it into CFN format.
