• Clear and easy listing of multi-region cloud resources (subnets, instances, users, buckets, records, etc.) on AWS EC2, IAM, S3, RDS, AutoScaling, SNS, SQS, Route53, CloudWatch, CloudFormation and Lambda:  awless list 
• Output formats either human (Markdown-compatible tables, trees) or machine readable (csv, tsv, json, ...):  --format 
• Listing can be filtered via resource properties or resources tags:  --filter property=val ,  --tag Key=Value 
• Explore a resource given only an id, name or arn (properties, relations, dependencies, ...):  awless show 
• Creation, update and deletion (CRUD) of cloud resources and complex infrastructure with smart defaults and sound autocomplete through powerful awless templates:  awless run my-awless-templates/create_my_infra.txt 
• Powerful CRUD CLI one-liner (integrated in the awless templating engine) with:  awless create instance ... ,  awless create vpc ... ,  awless attach policy ... 
• Leveraging AWS  userdata  to provision instance on creation from remote (i.e http) or local scripts:  awless create instance userdata=http://... 
• Easy reporting of all the CLI template executions:  awless log 
• Revert of executed templates and resources creation:  awless revert 
• Clean and simple ssh to instances:  awless ssh 
• Resolve public images dynamically (i.e. independant of the region specific AMI id):  awless search images canonical:ubuntu:xenial --id-only 
• Aliasing of resources through their natural name so you don't have to always use cryptic ids that are impossible to remember
• Inspectors are small CLI utilities to run analysis on your cloud resources graphs:  awless inspect 
• Manual sync mode to fetch & store resources locally. Then query & inspect your cloud offline:  awless sync 
• CLI autocompletion for Unix/Linux's bash and zsh  awless completion
