If your only experience with CloudFormation is hand-written JSON, it's worth another look.

We used to use troposphere, a Python library for generating CloudFormation templates, but have since switched back to vanilla CloudFormation templates now that they added support for YAML. We're finding it's much nicer to read and write in plain YAML. We're also now using Sceptre for some advanced use cases (templatizing the templates, and fancier deployment automation).

Strongly agree.

YAML and sensible formatting conventions really do transform the usability of CloudFormation.
