More charitably, AWS provides a CLI for most resources and commands and (in large measure) either provides backwards compatibility or a long depreciation window. This allows hackers to build syntactic sugar on top of their infrastructure.

I love that a community has an option to build components and share the same. It has made my work much more productive.

But we certainly agree on that last point: it’s an incredible business model.

AWSCLI backward compatibility has been so good, I've never had a Bash-My-AWS command fail due to a change.

AWS CLI v2 previews were released in Nov 19 and while this may contain some breaking changes, I wouldn't be surprised if all the commands BMA uses continue to work as normal.
