    troposphere - Python library to create AWS CloudFormation descriptions

  • 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.

  • I created a few myself before, and published these out of my own AWS Accounts. But this time instead of doing this all on my own, I had the opportunity to contribute to the Open Source community driven repository on GitHub. Great place to see what already existed, and have other people actually help and review my code.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • ecs_composex

    Manage, Configure and Deploy your services and AWS services and applications from your docker-compose definitions

  • If you have read my earlier posts or heard me talk with Corey on Screaming in the Cloud, I am the author of a tool called ECS Compose-X. It's designed to support all the docker compose features, and allow for extensions that make it easier to deploy to AWS.

    Troposphere resource to manage AwsCommunity::ApplicationAutoscaling::ScheduledAction

  • 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.
