Hey Guys. What's your take on floci: https://floci.io/aws/ I've used it a bit for quick labs/tests, but I'm wondering how you guys use it. Do most people use this/localstack or just use a dev aws account?

Floci is cool, I tested it for VPC creation with terraform. The only problem I had with it was that it had problems with creating ENIs. Localstack has been around for a while now, so I expect it to be more complete. Especially since it's not free. I've tested localstack with stuff like RDS provisioning where things can be a bit slower. Using a dev AWS account also has its advantages in that it's the real deal and you can expect it to behave the same way across AWS accounts

Yeah, I was having some issues with some services as well. I guess I'll create a separate aws account. I miss when we could create multiple free tiers 🙂

It takes a bit of work, but I would recommend setting up an AWS organization and identity center

I'll take a look 👍 Thanks

I heard they were trying to make onboarding easier for people. I haven't created a new account recently through the GUI

It was a beat tedious tbh. I prefer the previous one

Floci is awesome and supported by atmos!

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) did you guys experience any rough edges with parity while implementing this?

There's definitely functionality not supported; but for the happy path it works well.
