awless is a powerful CLI for managing Amazon Web Services with a small, hierarchical command surface. It offers a templating language for creating and reverting infrastructure, a local graph of cloud resources for offline exploration, and smart SSH connectivity to instances.

Use cases

  • manage aws resources from the terminal
  • create and revert aws infrastructure with templates
  • explore my aws cloud resources and their relationships offline
  • ssh into ec2 instances easily
  • log and undo past cloud modifications
  • get human or machine friendly output for aws api calls

When to avoid

  • you need support for cloud providers other than AWS
  • you require a tool under active development with recent updates
  • you need full coverage of every AWS API operation
  • you rely on Terraform-style declarative state management
