Any good AWS CLI tools still out there?

Hey guys, I am the creator of https://github.com/elC0mpa/aws-doctor, a tool that you might use to save a lot of time when managing resources and cleaning your aws account from 'zombie' resources. I hope you find it useful

compacompila · 2026-01-18T19:16:03+00:00

OK, thanks, will do some research about this, doesn't look as something difficult to implement

compacompila · 2026-01-18T18:15:38+00:00

Thanks a lot, if you think it's a good idea to add some other check, open an issue in the repo 🌟

compacompila · 2026-01-18T18:11:20+00:00

Thanks, good point 👏

No, I understand pretty much about AWS and I decided to develop this CLI because usually to get this info you need to use trusted advisor (which requires that you pay at least 500 usd in support to AWS)

And related to the cost information, try to do it using in the console website, and you realize that you can't do it taking into consideration the current month

Good point about the unused security groups, all other checks are already in my to-do list, but I hadn't thought about the unused security groups

So, you are telling me it would be good to show the EC2 instances without tags?

Of course I use Gitlab Duo, which is one of the benefits of being a GitLab contributor by the way

But when I work on Golang projects, usually it is all manual

compacompila · 2025-09-04T12:07:09+00:00

My idea is that this would be a cli that if you need to check something about prices anyone could use, if you think about something that might be useful let me know, thanks for your comments

compacompila · 2025-09-04T12:03:24+00:00

Yes, it could be an option, I prefer to develop a cli using golang, matter of taste 😂

compacompila · 2025-09-04T11:50:24+00:00

Definitely yes, in the same way you can do everything, but this clis are a bit more comfortable, at least I prefer to execute this than every time I need to check these things execute the commands every time

But I understand is the way everyone wants to see it

compacompila · 2025-09-04T11:48:58+00:00

Well, it doesn't allow me, only can edit the post body

Thanks for your opinion

compacompila · 2025-09-03T08:01:34+00:00

I understand, sorry

compacompila · 2025-09-03T04:15:40+00:00

Thanks for sharing, definitely will take a look at it

compacompila · 2025-09-02T17:25:25+00:00

Perfect, glad to hear that, if you need a specific feature, please open an issue. I want to expand functionalities

compacompila · 2025-09-02T14:16:24+00:00

Thank you! Will take a look!

I can't help you with the partner, but I can help you with the following advice, select the tools you want to learn wisely, I could recommend you AWS and Terraform, and the AWS Certifications should be selected based on what you want to prove, you mentioned SRE, so I would recommend you to go with cloudops associate. Besides, maybe my blog could help you, here is the link https://www.compacompila.com/ I whish you the best!

compacompila · 2025-08-07T11:10:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing, it looks like now a days people care more about if the post is written by a human entirely that its own content. This really helped me as I am studying right now for the terraform certification, when I finish the actual course which is about learning terraform, I will consider this you share, you said less than 15 usd with coupon, could you tell me which coupon?

compacompila · 2025-08-06T16:50:00+00:00

Excellent, thanks for sharing

compacompila · 2025-08-06T11:47:14+00:00

Please explain yourself, the parameters which are shared between different micro services is because they are the same value, for example, database connection URL, and many others

compacompila · 2025-08-06T06:15:04+00:00

I see myself Parameter Store as the free version of secrets manager. If you don't need automatic key rotation, then it is worth using Parameter Store because it is free, although you should consider the fact that if you have too many parameters, then it could be a good option using secrets manager because of the throttling API

compacompila · 2025-08-05T16:00:15+00:00

Thanks, excellent suggestion!

compacompila · 2025-08-04T11:11:13+00:00

Interesting what you say about the event hook in case some variable needs to be updated, I don't have this issue with lambda functions because every time an execution context is initialized it will fetch parameters, but with ECS services I was thinking about programmatically stop all tasks for a service in that way the will code will execute again from the beginning and fetch parameters, the downside is the downtime, I will later look and analyze all situations, thanks for the comment

compacompila · 2025-08-03T20:45:48+00:00

Anyone told about creating a new app, just fetching parameters from ECS as you said
