▸ Scaling of System ▸ Collecting of Log Data ▸ Authentication between Services ▸ Storing and managing data storage ▸ Provisioning and scaling Queue infrastructure ▸ …
examples in AWS from great services that aren’t used enough ▸ CloudFormation ▸ IAM ▸ CloudWatch Metrics, Logs and Alerts ▸ Custom Resources ▸ AWS Config
hard to read configuration ▸ No built-in modularity for one stack making config files huge ▸ There is no built-in command to deploy a stack, wait for it to be deployed and get the CF events as cli output
us to swap out tools ▸ Not possible with other tools like Terraform as state is stored separately ▸ Easier to support standards ▸ This also makes sure we’re building better low level tools with better UX
lowest common denominator ▸ In a Serverless infrastructure you’re not going to move Everything between providers ▸ Small surface area per provider ▸ You want to get all you can out of that provider so you need specialised tooling
build and play with more AWS services so I needed a good CloudFormation tool ▸ Looked around at existing tools (Sceptre, Stacker, AWLess, Serverless, Gordon, Condensation, …) but all define their own abstractions ▸ Stack environments ▸ Dependencies between stacks ▸ Stack naming, ▸ Language to create the stack ▸ … ▸ So of course I built it using Troposphere so I could have nice python templates and added my own abstraction layer
great for setting up an API Gateway with Lambdas ▸ We could have other tools as preprocessors for specific things ▸ Simple tool to translate HTTP endpoint definition to CF ▸ Tool to create CF templates for CloudWatch Alerts and Metrics
Deploying CloudFormation templates ▸ AWSIE - Dynamically use CF ids in your shell commands ▸ Ideas: ▸ Orgonaut: Org/Account management and running commands against each command or group ▸ Auditor: Auditing and reporting setup with AWS Config and Cloudtrail across accounts ▸ Pipes: CI/CD setup through CodePipeline/CodeBuild ▸ Watchdog: CloudWatch config tool to make Monitoring and Alerts easier to configure ▸ Work together as a community to highlight those tools and define a best-practice suite
Build and use small tools that do one thing well ▸ Compose larger systems out of several smaller tools ▸ Go check out Make, its reasonably good ▸ Join the Serverless Slack (Serverless-Forum, https://wt-serverless- seattle.run.webtask.io/serverless-forum-signup?webtask_no_cache=1) T W I T T E R : @ F L O M O T L I K W E B S I T E : F L O M O T L I K .
