Sherpa: The Runbook REPL

(Visit https://getsherpa.app/screens.html for more screenshots)

tl;dr;

Sherpa takes flag soup:

$ aws logs get-log-events — log-group-name $LOG_GROUP — log-stream-name `aws logs describe-log-streams — log-group-name $LOG_GROUP — max-items 1 — order-by LastEventTime — descending — query logStreams[].logStreamName — output text | head -n 1` — query events[].message — output text

And turns it into forms:

Sherpa ScriptApp™ for AWS Cloudwatch Query

Built for the sudoer in all of us, Sherpa blends Cloud APIs, shell commands, and script blocks into reusable Runbooks that let you take control of Cloud and On-Premise resources and workflows.

With Great Power…

If you’ve worked with the Cloud for any period of time you’ve likely come to the realization that “With great power comes great complexity.”

And by “complexity” we mean frustration, lost productivity, and pain supporting simple business requests the Cloud can make far from simple.

We mean countless hours clicking through ever-changing web dashboards that require so many clicks, tabs, and transitions you’d swear they were designed to maximize page views instead of productivity.
