Tired of asking a web LLM to generate aws-cli commands for you and copy+pasting the result into your shell? I've written a shell command that does this for me, and I can't live without it now.
getabc.sh
Ready for feedback and issues from early adopters.

The abc CLI project has been enhanced with a new OpenAI plugin for use with, say, GPT-5. Website:
getabc.sh
GitHub:
github.com/alestic/abc
abc now supports: - Anthropic (Claude models) - OpenAI (GPT models) - AWS Bedrock (Claude, Nova, etc)

I did not have a new SQS Queue type on my bingo card, but here we are and they're very cool. SQS Fair Queues automatically balance multiple tenants (identified by their MessageGroupID), filtering out noisy neighbors. Love it when foundational services keep improving!

Each AI model needs its own prompting approach - like how different makeup brushes are designed for specific tasks. You wouldn't use an eyeliner brush for blush! I've turned my Nova experiments into a field guide with templates, patterns & examples you can use today!

Hopefully

works here as well: I want that the ECR PullThrough cache makes the `library` path for official images transparent Currently it fails if the library prefix is missing but tools often allow only to set one prefix and that breaks for official images.

I’m grateful for feedback from AWS customers about new access management features. Foundational models are cool, but if you’re in security, a good takeaway from re:Invent is to delete the root credentials from your member accounts in AWS Organizations

Talking now about the building blocks approach to building services. Honestly that's why I love the old logo so much. AWS is at its absolute best when it's building low-level primitives vs. tilting at the up-the-stack windmill. It's why we're customers.
