Looks great. My main complaint is that the templates feature appears to be reinventing Terraform. Would have been cool if we could use the Terraform templates we already have, or even provide support for CloudFormation (given this is an AWS-only tool).

Thanks for your feedback.

awless is currently in its early life. We also plan to support both CloudFormation (first) and maybe Terraform at some point. CF and TF are exhaustive but more complex than awless templates.

awless is meant to simplify how we can create and manage an AWS infrastructure (which is originally our own need at Wallix), and we wanted to have simple templates as part of the CLI.
