Pyinfra: Automate Infrastructure Using Python
Seems like an interesting generalized mix of something like https://github.com/cloudtools/troposphere and Ansible from a glance.
The value add would be unifying provisioning and configuration management in a Python-y experience? The lifecycle of each is distinct and that's traditionally where the headaches of using a single tool for both has come in

AWS Predictions for 2024
Under the IaC category, in July 2023, AWS added loops to CloudFormation, finally ticking a box the community has been asking for since troposphere. I suspect that, in combination with the Terraform licensing changes, it may keep people using CloudFormation for a while longer.

Journey of creating a new AWS CloudFormation resource
Because ECS Compose-X uses Troposphere, I was able to create a very light and simple python library(https://github.com/JohnPreston/troposphere-awscommunity-applicationautoscaling-scheduledaction) to distribute the resource for other Troposphere users to re-use.

Terraform vs. Cloudformation for an all-AWS Environment in 2023?
Written in house, but the library troposphere is the primary component of how it is built. Example stacks are here.

How proficient should Solution Architects be at writing code?
I am kind of going off topic here, but isn't the point of being an SA to be created with code services to deliver solutions at scale that are cost-effective? How in the hell can you do that when you can't write a simple Python template that generates code at 50 times the rate you can manually? How can you ever be expected to deploy a serverless solution if you can't write any code yourself? There has to be some level of proficiency there.

Terraform should have remained stateless
Wouldn't using troposphere[1] be easier?

Hosting your blog on AWS
You might have seen some tutorials on how to set up S3 buckets using the AWS Console. This works fine, but I'm a firm believer of managing your resources with code. I've chosen the native solution of AWS, called AWS CloudFormation. This makes it easier to reproduce the setup if I ever need to tear it down of move it to another account or region. Below is the full CloudFormation template, I've used a framework called Troposphere, a Python library that creates CloudFormation.

Alert: Cloud Software Startup Hashicorp Files For IPO
For CF for example I no longer write template in yaml or shudders json, and instead I use troposphere.

AWS pros out here, how can someone get good at CloudFormation ?

- Is anyone here using an azure build pipeline for CloudFormation? (Specifically, what do you "build"?)

Stack/Resource testing tools?
I am looking for an alternative to inspec-aws. It is a great tool but has poor coverage of resources and doesn't look like it will ever catch up. Are there any similar alternatives? I have seen Taskcat but it is not quite the same and not what I am looking for. I am looking for something that can test for existence/configuration of existing resources no matter how they were created.
- Suggested reading or videos on how to properly structure your Git repository for things like CloudFormation, and other IAC implementations?
- Moving terraform deployment to codepipeline/cloudformation
What are some alternatives?
terraform - Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
