Show HN: Bash-My-AWS – CLI Commands for AWS

I would strongly recommend to use cloud formation through a typed proxy like troposphere. Also would not recommend to use terraform at all since you will run into warts and fundamental issues quickly. I have done projects with both and my current blessed workflow is a custom python driver which uses CF via troposphere and minimal boto3 as glue. Also I work at AWS.

Several of the warts in Terraform were fixed in 0.12.

While I think the HCL DSL was a mistake and prefer the CloudFormation YAML, CloudFormation has its share of warts as well, and the TF community has been doing better than CF in staying up-to-date with the AWS API updates - which reflects quite poorly on AWS actually.

It's not a good look to be employed by the 800 pound gorilla and bash your company's competitor without mentioning specifics.

0.12 fixed and introduced warts. It's a buggy mess, but it is at least has better coverage than CF.

Have you tried the CDK yet instead of using Troposphere?
