Lono is a CloudFormation framework. It builds, manages, and deploys CloudFormation templates.

• Simple CLI interface to launch CloudFormation stacks.
• Ability to use Existing CloudFormation Templates.
• The Lono DSL - Generate templates from beautiful code.
• Write your CloudFormation parameters with simple env-like values.
• Preview CloudFormation changes before pressing the big red button.
• Layering - Allows you to build multiple environments like development and production with the same template.
• Variables - Allows you to construct templates where runtime Parameters do not suffice.
• Helpers - Allows you to extend Lono and simplify code.
• Configsets - Configurement Management. Automatically configure EC2 instances with reuseable code.

See lono.cloud for full lono documentation.

It only takes a couple of commands to start using lono.

gem install lono --prerelease
lono new project infra --examples
cd infra
lono up demo

Here's an example of what the Lono CloudFormation DSL looks like:

description "Demo stack"

parameter("InstanceType", "t3.micro")

mapping("AmiMap",
  "us-east-1": { Ami: "ami-0de53d8956e8dcf80" },
  "us-west-2": { Ami: "ami-061392db613a6357b" }
)

resource("Instance", "AWS::EC2::Instance",
  InstanceType: ref("InstanceType"),
  ImageId: find_in_map("AmiMap", ref("AWS::Region"), "Ami"),
  SecurityGroupIds: [get_att("SecurityGroup.GroupId")],
  UserData: base64(user_data("bootstrap.sh"))
)
resource("SecurityGroup", "AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup",
  GroupDescription: "demo security group",
)

output("Instance")
output("SecurityGroup", get_att("SecurityGroup.GroupId"))

The lono up command deploys the CloudFormation stack.

$ lono up demo
