@the_mckern I still have scars from these, both emotional and physical

@rchrdbyd For that money, they’re probably looking for someone “well seasoned”. I’ll show myself out…

@alexbdebrie Check out this workshop: https://t.co/cb1BQ4Viq8

@benbridts Yes, each alias has it's own configuration

The buddy system is in effect! 😎 Now you can discover, provision, and manage a whole world of 3rd-party resources published by @AWS_Partners and in the #developer community on the @AWSCloudFormer Public Registry. ☁️ https://t.co/IU1Awo5Gd2 #AWS #CloudComputing

@ranman I just had an issue where a direct message only showed up in my mobile app. Restarting the desktop app fixed it, but only after I replied in my mobile app first

TIL about the EAFP principle in Python. Apparently Yoda was wrong... do or do not, there is always try: https://t.co/Ik4tRads2r

Movies here recently opened back up. Looking forward to sitting in a dark room staring at a screen 🧐#atthemovies

[AWS CloudFormation @AWSCloudFormer]

AWS #CloudFormation Guard 2.0 is out! Guard is now a general purpose policy-as-code language: write policy rules for any JSON- or YAML-formatted files, such as #Terraform or #Kubernetes configurations, in addition to CloudFormation templates: https://t.co/DXNRoRJ4he

@benbridts Are you telling me you’ll be paying me in elephants? If so, I’m in

[Craig Lefkowitz @CraigLefkowitz]

@rchrdbyd @alexbdebrie @coates I don't know if there is going to be a *good* reason, this comes up often as a pain point. A stack with no resources is not a valid state, that's what you are in when this happens. To mitigate, use aws cloudformation create-stack --on-failure DELETE: https://t.co/rdfZh6b17e

[Craig Lefkowitz @CraigLefkowitz]

@jthomerson @AWSCloudFormer Thanks @jthomerson. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue, but we're going to look into it. In the meantime can you open a case with support so we can track it?

[Craig Lefkowitz @CraigLefkowitz]

@mbarneyjr @AWSSupport Love the gif. If you want to track, we're going to post here when we release: https://t.co/VPBRf2Md36

We just added transform and macro support for StackSets, allowing you to create StackSets with SAM templates. #serverless in all the places! Great job StackSets team!

[AWS CloudFormation @AWSCloudFormer]

AWS #CloudFormation macros and transforms are now supported in StackSets. With support for the AWS::Serverless transform, your SAM-based #serverless applications can be rolled out to multiple AWS accounts and Regions in a single operation. https://t.co/csqpoeBUMQ

[Eric Johnson @edjgeek]

So this is huge. AWS CloudFormation StackSets now support transforms. Translation, you can now use SAM templates with StackSets. This allows you to deploy #serverless architectures across multiple regions & accounts in one process! #ServerlessForEveryone https://t.co/7Jsa0AMstJ

[Craig Lefkowitz @CraigLefkowitz]

One of our top asks shipped today. Congrats to the team on the launch!

[AWS CloudFormation @AWSCloudFormer]

Using dynamic references in your AWS #CloudFormation templates just got easier. You can now reference the latest version of SSM parameter values in your AWS CloudFormation templates without having to specify a version: https://t.co/seXl4Es5EU

[Craig Lefkowitz @CraigLefkowitz]

Searching for a new shredder 🤔

[Craig Lefkowitz @CraigLefkowitz]

What's the next language you'd like to see supported?

[AWS CloudFormation @AWSCloudFormer]

The AWS #CloudFormation CLI now officially supports authoring resource types using TypeScript, in addition to Java, Python, and Go. https://t.co/BG04MCI5Kx
