What are some alternatives to Blox, awless, LocalStack?

AWS Amplify

AWS Amplify

A JavaScript library for frontend and mobile developers building cloud-enabled applications. The library is a declarative interface across different categories of operations in order to make common tasks easier to add into your application. The default implementation works with Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources but is designed to be open and pluggable for usage with other cloud services that wish to provide an implementation or custom backends.

AWS CLI

AWS CLI

It is a unified tool to manage your AWS services. With just one tool to download and configure, you can control multiple AWS services from the command line and automate them through scripts.

Bash-My-AWS

Bash-My-AWS

It is a simple but extremely powerful set of CLI commands for managing resources on Amazon Web Services. They harness the power of Amazon's AWSCLI, while abstracting away verbosity. The project implements some innovative patterns but (arguably) remains simple, beautiful and readable.

AWS Shell

AWS Shell

The AWS Command Line Interface is a unified tool to manage your AWS services.

troposphere

troposphere

The troposphere library allows for easier creation of the AWS CloudFormation JSON by writing Python code to describe the AWS resources. troposphere also includes some basic support for OpenStack resources via Heat.

AWS Systems Manager

AWS Systems Manager

It is a secure end-to-end management solution for hybrid cloud environments. It centralizes operational data from multiple AWS services and automates tasks across your AWS resources. You can create logical groups of resources such as applications, different layers of an application stack, or production versus development environments.

AWS Organizations

AWS Organizations

It lets you create new AWS accounts at no additional charge. With accounts in an organization, you can easily allocate resources, group accounts, and apply governance policies to accounts or groups.

Vantage

Vantage

It is an alternative to the AWS console focused on developer experience and cost transparency. It is meant to work alongside your existing automation tools.

AWS Trusted Advisor

AWS Trusted Advisor

It provides recommendations that help you follow AWS best practices. Trusted Advisor evaluates your account by using checks. These checks identify ways to optimize your AWS infrastructure, improve security and performance, reduce costs, and monitor service quotas. You can then follow the recommendations to optimize your services and resources.

AWS CloudShell

AWS CloudShell

It is a browser-based shell that makes it easy to securely manage, explore, and interact with your AWS resources. It is pre-authenticated with your console credentials. Common development and operations tools are pre-installed, so no local installation or configuration is required. You can quickly run scripts with the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), experiment with AWS service APIs using the AWS SDKs, or use a range of other tools to be productive. You can use it right from your browser and at no additional cost.
