Rain

Rain is a development workflow tool for working with AWS CloudFormation.

Rain is currently in preview and shouldn't yet be considered stable enough for production use. Please report any bugs you find through GitHub issues.

Rain is also what happens when you have a lot of CloudFormation

Here's what it looks like:

Installing

You can download the appropriate binary for your system from the releases page.

Alternatively, if you have Go installed, you can run the following command:

go install github.com/aws-cloudformation/rain

License

Usage

You will need to make sure you have installed and configured the AWS CLI as rain uses the same credentials and configuration.

Rain is composed of a number of sub-commands. Invoke a command like this:

rain [command] [arguments...]

The following commands are available:

cat         Get the CloudFormation template from a running stack
deploy      Deploy a CloudFormation stack from a local template
diff        Compare CloudFormation templates
ls          List running CloudFormation stacks
rm          Delete a running CloudFormation stack

You can get additional information about any command by running:
