Looks very similar to my project https://github.com/kkuchta/scarr from a while back. It even uses the same acronym (I assume that's just a coincidence, since we both just picked a cool-sounding english-language word using the initials from S3, Cloudfront, ACM, and ACM.

At a glance: - Mine handles domain registration + ACM verification automatically - This one wisely uses clioudformation instead of api calls - This one does apex->ww redirects, whereas mine uses the apex and has no redirect

Seems pretty cool!

Wow, that is a fun coincidence! Indeed, I was going for a catchy four-letter acronym in the same vein as popular stacks like LAMP or MEAN. Perhaps the fact that we both landed on the same components and permutation of components means that there's something there :)

I also started off in the same manner of implementation - bash scripts wrapping AWS CLI calls - then stumbled upon the more straightforward, template based approach.

Ha, so cool that you both ended up in the same end of the Sphinx! =)
