Sceptre Wordpress

Meetup Munich

Sceptre is a tool to drive AWS CloudFormation. It automates away some of the more mundane, repetitive and error-prone tasks, allowing you to concentrate on building better infrastructure.

Sceptre's source code can be found here.

Features:

Code reusability by separating a stack's template and its configuration
Support for templates written in JSON, YAML or Python DSLs such as Troposphere
Dependency resolution by passing of stack outputs to parameters of dependent stacks
Environment support by bundling related stacks into logical groups (e.g. dev and prod)
Environment-level commands, such as creating multiple stacks with a single command
Fast, highly parallelised builds
Built in support for working with stacks in multiple AWS accounts
Infrastructure visibility with meta-operations such as stack querying protection
Support for inserting dynamic values in templates via customisable resolvers
Support for running arbitrary code as hooks before/after stack builds

Code

Sceptre organises stacks into environments. Each stack is represented by a YAML configuration file stored in a directory which represents the environment. Here, we have two environments, prod and dev
