I've tried to use Troposphere, but found it a redundant layer on top of the Python dicts. I ended up building my own Macro language that compiles to raw CloudFormation JSON. What's funny is that I wanted to call this Macro language exactly Terraform. I'll definitely look into Terraform, it looks to have a lot of the features that I implement although most of mine were tailored exactly toward CFN and it may not be practical to switch. Maybe I'll finally convince my employer to open-source it.
