- Show HN: Test Cloudformation Templates Locally

Unit testing Cloudformation templates just got a lot easier!
I'm the author of Cloud-Radar, a Cloudformation testing framework written in Python. I just released v0.7.0 which had some major user experience improvements and I wanted to share it with all of you.

cf2tf: A tool to automatically convert Cloudformation templates to Terraform
But I think it's okay if you like Cloudformation. In fact, I have another project that you will love. I created a testing framework for Cloudformation templates called Cloud-Radar. It allows you to test your templates locally without credentials. https://github.com/DontShaveTheYak/cloud-radar

Show HN: Convert Cloudformation Templates to Terraform
Final follow up ;)
If you like Cloudformation, you might be interested in my Cloudformation testing library.
https://github.com/DontShaveTheYak/cloud-radar
It's the most powerful Cloudformation testing framework that exists.
It allows you to unit test your Templates locally with out deploying resources. That also means you don't need valid AWS creds while unit testing.
-
Do not use AWS CloudFormation
If you are using cloudformation, I have a python testing library https://github.com/DontShaveTheYak/cloud-radar
It allows unit testing of cloudformation templates locally without needing aws credentials or deploying anything.
It also supports functional testing of cloudformation stacks once they are deployed.

Ask HN: Tools you have made for yourself?
https://github.com/DontShaveTheYak/jenkins-std-lib A Jenkins shared library with a couple cool things like running GitHub Actions on Jenkins.
https://github.com/DontShaveTheYak/cloud-radar Unit and Functional testing of AWS Cloudformation templates. The unit testing part allows you to test locally without needing AWS creds.
https://github.com/DontShaveTheYak/sebs Stateful Elastic Block Storage was created so that you could make sure that a AWS ec2 instance always had the same EBS volume mounted to it. Really handy for a Ec2 instance in an ASG with a count of 1.

Cloud-Radar - Unit test Cloudformation Templates locally without deploying!
I created a tool called cloud-radar that would allow me to test the logic that is inside of a Cloudformation templates. Things like the conditionals and intrinsic functions. This all happens locally without deploying and worrying about credentials or assuming roles. You can take a template like this and test it like this:

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
I've been doing something similar for ~20 years at: https://github.com/nickjj/notes
- Running `notes` will open this month's notes for YYYY_MM.txt
-
What is your approach to quick note taking during development?
I use a very command line focused approach with https://github.com/nickjj/notes.

Keep a Knowledge Log
Since about 2001 I used YYYY-MM.txt plain text files and have a shell script to help create notes in the most friendly way I could think of from the command line at https://github.com/nickjj/notes.
Totally works fine for a knowledge log when you're streaming high level details. I still use it today.
But when you want to really go all-in with in-depth notes it's tricky because in 1 month's time if you're hardcore deep in the woods of learning, applying and using something you're going to end up with hundreds of concepts from an assorted set of tools and it kind of stinks to have all of that info sitting in 1 file. Think about using something like Kubernetes. That's really Kubernetes, Kustomize / Helm, EKS, various cloud hosting details (networking, etc.), Terraform and ton of super useful commands / context. Details you for sure want recorded for later.
For this type of info I've been building up a knowledge base with https://obsidian.md/. It's really nice and I highly recommend it. It's been working well for keeping things reasonably categorized without wasting a lot of time on the details around keeping links and tags up to date. It also has Vim mode that's good enough where day to day writing feels natural.

Show HN: Then – Understand how you spend your time and what influences your mood
Did you end up automating the entries?
For example, I have a command line note taking script at https://github.com/nickjj/notes.
It creates a YYYY-MM-DD.txt file and doesn't include time stamps but it would be a 1 line change to make each entry get timestamped. I didn't do that because personally I'm more interested in monthly notes not per minute.
But I do think removing the barrier of creating entries is an important step with jotting things down, this way you can focus on what you want to write and not the boilerplate.

Ask HN: Tools you have made for yourself?
A whole bunch of little things, mainly command line tools.
Most of them are open source and also have extensive documentation and a screencast video going over them.
In no specific order:
- https://github.com/nickjj/notes
- https://github.com/nickjj/invoice
- https://github.com/nickjj/wait-until
And a few recent little scripts to solve specific things:

Show HN: Note, my simple command line note taking app
Along similar lines, nickjj also has a similar (but bash) notes script at:

Ask HN: What are you surprised isn’t being worked on more?
While I don't use it personally there's: https://obsidian.md/
It's cross platform and works offline. You write markdown and it produces a visual graph of your data. It supports interlinking notes, tags and images too.
Plain text notes[0] work best for me but I'd probably use Obsidian if I wanted to see things visually. When I tried it out briefly it was really solid.
