I think AWS console has a lot of room for improvement. However, I think of it as a feature, since I'm trying very hard to have people do everything in the infra as code, rather than clicking buttons, and the worse the console is, the better ;)
- brandonbloom 6y agoEven for read-only use cases? I've talked to _lots_ of folks who have nearly 100% IaC coverage, including folks who only expose read-only console access to the majority of their devs. But I haven't met anyone who has successfully managed to avoid logging in to the console during production incidents to debug things. One feature we're looking at potentially adding is "Go To Definition", that lets you go from the AWS Console and jump directly to the Terraform code that produced that resource. Would that be useful to you?

- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoThen how do you intend to do logs and debugging?
- forty 6y agoGood point, we do use it for read only use cases indeed. And yes, jumping to terraform would indeed be a useful feature to have :)
