Ask HN: What's your favorite way to orchestrate AWS?
Specifically the creation and deletion of things like Security Groups, Subnets, etc.
NOT the managing of packages and configuration of the servers themselves (although a good all-in-one solution is even better, I haven't seen one).
I currently use Salt with Salt-Cloud but Salt-Cloud doesn't seem to have all the features CloudFormation does. I wondered if there was something better or all-in-one besides CloudFormation.
- oskarpearson 10y agoHave a look at https://www.terraform.io/ https://www.terraform.io/ It seems to match your listed requirements. I much prefer it to Cloudformation. There are a few downsides: - It's not yet version 1.0 (but seems good enough for real world use) - There are pitfalls about state management and locking (where two people run it at the same time) https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt should solve that.
