Hey fellow AWS Cloud Enthusiasts!

I’m proud to announce StackOps, a groundbreaking new infrastructure-as-code solution for AWS Architects and DevOps Engineers that I personally wrote.

What is StackOps?​

Built natively for AWS, StackOps is a powerful Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solution that provides a code pipeline and deployment console. It installs into your AWS Account and links to a GitHub repository. Infrastructure change management has never been easier!

Why StackOps?​

  • GitHub Integration: Fully integrated with GitHub for seamless CI/CD automation and version control, making it easy to manage infrastructure with modern DevOps practices.
  • Compatible with Existing CloudFormation Templates: Already using CloudFormation? StackOps works with your existing templates, so you don’t need to make any changes to get started.
  • Single and Multi-account Ready: Works well for single AWS account environments as well as large, complex multi-account/region environments.
  • Data-rich Console: View code, deployment, stack, and resource events in real-time, without needing a page refresh. Each Stack is also linked into the AWS Console with a single click for easy access.

Key Features​

  • Automated CloudFormation Stack Management: Easily deploy and manage AWS CloudFormation stacks with just a few clicks across accounts and regions.
  • Infrastructure Visibility: Gain real-time insights into your infrastructure deployments via the StackOps deployment console, which streams CloudFormation events in real time to the browser without needing to be refreshed.
  • Advanced Stack Dependencies: Automatic dependency resolution of Stack outputs to Stack parameters, even across accounts and regions. Stack executions honour dependencies yet also parallelise execution of Stacks across accounts and regions to the maximum extent possible, making deployments fast.
  • Enhanced Security: StackOps is installed into each customer’s own AWS account, ensuring that your infrastructure data stays securely within your own environment
