To counter this, it is so easy to write YAML I don't get the fuss. And this coming from someone who took a long time to learn Python.

Perhaps the issue is not the writing of the YAML, but the need to have a good understanding of all the resources/primatives in order to get things glued together. Many application developers just want to focus on their application, and not on all the nuances of subnets, security groups, autoscaling thresholds etc.

This and the fear of making a mistake with the most important configuration file of the application.

OP this is a clear opporutinty for Stacktape.
