Did you know about the AWS Cloud Control API?

It only hit 1.0 ten months ago so don't feel bad if you are just hearing about it.

AWS Cloud Control API allows you to interact with resources in a uniform manner.

Contrast this with the regular AWS Apis which each service has its own way of querying resources controlled by that service. Whereas AWS CloudControl API allows you to query and provision resources in a uniform way.

Also it sounds like it uses CloudFormation under the hood.

Terraform:

I stumbled upon this whole thing while researching some things for an AWS Personalize project I am working on. I was looking for the documentation for AWS Personalize resources in the main AWS Terraform Providor when I was directed to an AWSCC Terraform Providor.

I can think of a few things this uniform provisioning interface could be used for, specifically as it pertains to building out AWS management and diagnostic tools.

Question For You: Have you used AWS Cloud Control API? If so, what for?
