How does this compare to Terraform, which allows you to manage infrastructure other than AWS (GCE, DO, bare metal, etc.)?

Its written in Python and uses YAML instead of whatever config markup Terraform uses.

My goal is to keep Botoform focused only on AWS and make it more intuitive and enjoyable to use then something like cloud formation.

Also I hope the project becomes an example of how to use Boto3.

Terraform uses HCL - Hashicorp Configuration Language -https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl
Which is opinionated and pretty limited.
This actually is great. Although Terraform is nice, it's too focused on supporting everything instead of doing one thing and doing it great.
