Show HN: An read-only AWS console in ~550 lines of code

Last year, I started a new job as a cloud architect and it took my weeks to get access to the company's AWS infra for a myriad reasons.

The experience made me want to build a read-only interface to interact with AWS which we could share with new hires, consultants, and contractors.

Moreover, the kind of information I need for my job is hidden behind a maze of clicks and menus and tabs.

So, I made the Cloud Browser to simplify my AWS workflows.

It is a read-only interface to your AWS account which runs in purely in your browser as a single page VueJS app.

The entire interface is one big index.html file with less than 550 lines of code, all told.

It also hooks into OpenAI/GPT-3 for nifty little enhancements like using GPT-3 to summarize what a Lambda does or to convert a natural language request into SQL to be run against Athena.

Here are a few things that makes this interface interesting

1. Runs in the browser/is serverless/is a single-page-app

2. Integrates with Open AI (optional)

3. Can be extended to any AWS product which follows the _List_, _Drill_, _Show_ paradigm. E.g. List Lambdas > Drill into one Lambda > See specifics of one Lambda

4. Writes no data to AWS nor to any other server
