cfn-lint

Previously wanted to generate estimates of these gantt charts without deployments/credentials by combining resource dependency graphs: https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-lint/pull/1411 https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-lint-visual-studio... https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kddejong... with average resource type provisioning times: https://github.com/PatMyron/cloud/issues/10

> If you ever dealt with cloudformation you’d know it’s absolutely enormous PITA. Is it? For me it's working fine. What problems are you facing when writing CloudFormation templates and what better alternative to declare infrastructure do you suggest? Most problems I see are people being not aware of the possible attributes of resources or doing indentation mistakes when it's a YAML template. Most of these problems can be avoided by using cfn-lint [1] to ensure the template is valid. [1]: https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-python-lint

> I feel like all I actually want is something that takes CloudFormation and gives me a picture, for free, in a python script on my laptop you might find this interesting then: https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-python-lint/pull/1... https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/aws-cfn-lint-visual-st...

I highly recommend cfn-lint [1]. As someone who has been writing CFN for a living for the past few months, it’s a godsend. [1]: https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-python-lint
