04/19/2022, 12:02 PMI think you can “query the infra” really easy, that’s the most interesting use-case for me.

Adrián Mouly
04/19/2022, 12:03 PMWith SQL should be pretty quick and easy with a powerful query language.

04/19/2022, 12:03 PMOn CDK not sure how to do that, I only use it to create stacks.

Yeah that’s a good point. @Adrián Mouly usually what type of resources do you want to look up?

Adrián Mouly
04/19/2022, 8:14 PMWell, most of the resources. In my company we use different regions, and sometimes resources are created in the wrong one... I would like a tool to audit that. With the UI Console it takes time, and I have to do a bunch of clicks and navigation to get there.

04/19/2022, 8:15 PMIts also nice to track resources created without CF.

04/19/2022, 8:16 PMI know its not ideal but some operations people still uses the UI to create stuff.

Yeah it’s a great point. I can see how this’ll be painful. I’d like to share this internally.

04/19/2022, 9:08 PMYeah, I think could be nice to have a good query language for AWS resources… could be SQL or other… but something to run audits, it’s fundamental.
Adrián Mouly
04/19/2022, 9:09 PMMaybe SQL it’s good because it’s well known by most of us… but well, might be other query-language out there.
