Agree with watty here that this, as with most new Legos from AWS, makes some of the repetitive and frequent devops things easier and consistent. But the devops-person's true value is in stringing all the Legos into complex creations. And sure, while each new AWS offering, simplifies or automates some segment of work, it also feeds the number of cross-tool permutations. And that in turn creates new opportunities for the people like us that can string it all together when needed.
