How to manage your AWS infrastructure like the hacker 1337 (leet)

Recently Joe Niland put a project called E1S by Yahao Xing on my radar.

It's as if you married the AWS web console UI with the CLI tool, creating a terminal-based GUI.

At first glance, I thought it might be a cool way to show off to your coworkers how hacker 1337 you are, but then I dug a bit deeper.

One feature I am excited about is the seamless transition from the UI to having a bash terminal inside of your ECS containers via ECS exec, which I could see saving a ton of time.

There are a few other things, like quick and easy port forwarding, that catch my eye as well.

All in all, I am glad projects like this exist. If you know of any more niche projects like this that I can support, please send them my way.
