I've been working with AWS CDK for a little while now, and it kind of has some of what you want.
In my case, I wanted a scheduled container to run once per day. Setting it up manually with CF or Terraform would have been a lot of work defining various resources, but CDK comes with a higher-level construct[1] that can be parameterized and which will assemble a bunch of lower level resources to do what I want. It was a pretty small amount of Python code to make it happen.
