This may be heresy in an AWS thread, but as a concept Bicep actually isn't terrible: https://github.com/Azure/bicep/blob/v0.37.4/src/Bicep.Cli.E2...

It does compile down to Azure Resource Manager's json DSL, so in that way close to Troposphere I guess, only both sides are official and not just some rando project that happens to emit yaml/json

The implementation, of course, is ... very Azure, so I don't mean to praise using it, merely that it's a better idea than rawdogging json

I’ve heard so many bad things about bicep on Azure that I’m not convinced it’s an upgrade over TF.

The syntax does look nicer but sadly that’s just a superficial improvement.
