https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ Today, I am happy to announce the availability of https://aws.amazon.com/cloudcontrolapi a set of common application programming interfaces (APIs) that are designed to make it easy for developers to manage their AWS and third-party services. Each AWS service has a specific API with its own vocabulary, input parameters, and error reporting.

Cloud Control API provides support for hundreds of AWS resources today, and we will continue to add support for existing AWS resources across services such as https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ and https://aws.amazon.com/s3/ in the coming months.

In my opinion, there are three types of builders that are going to adopt Cloud Control API: Builders The first community is builders using AWS Services APIs to manage their infrastructure or their customer’s infrastructure.

“We have a strong focus on infrastructure as code (IaC) within Stedi and have been looking for a programmatic way to discover and delete legacy cloud resources that are no longer managed through CloudFormation – helping us reduce complexity and manage cost,” said https://www.linkedin.com/in/olafconijn/, Serverless Engineer at Stedi, Inc. “With AWS Cloud Control API, our teams can easily list each of these legacy resources, cross-reference them against CloudFormation managed resources, apply additional logic and delete the legacy resources. By deleting these unused legacy resources using Cloud Control API, we can manage our cloud spend in a simpler and faster manner. Cloud Control API allows us to remove the need to author and maintain custom code to discover and delete each type of resource, helping us improve our developer velocity”.
