asc

'asc' is a simplified version of the AWS CLI.

The purpose of this project is to provide a simple interface to the AWS CLI.

AWS Simple CLI (asc)

The AWS Simple CLI (asc) is a command-line interface for managing AWS services with ease. It supports various AWS services, including EC2, RDS, Autoscaling, Redis, and Systems Manager.

This project was created as a way for me to learn about building CLIs in Python and to provide a simple interface to the AWS CLI. It is not meant to replace the AWS CLI, but to provide a simpler way to interact with AWS services.

brew tap harleymckenzie/asc
