With just a few clicks, Amazon Q can generate code for you using the infrastructure-as-code (IaC) format of your choice, including AWS CloudFormation template (YAML or JSON), and AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) (TypeScript, Python or Java). This can be used as a starting point for infrastructure automation and further customized for your production workloads.
So, Amazon Q Console to Code came out ~7 years after Former2 (og ConsoleRecorder). Q supports CloudFormation and CDK only. Oh, and it also only supports EC2, VPC, and RDS. Former2 (7 years ago) supported many more services, was basically the work of one guy, and could output all of the above plus Terraform.
Console-to-Code is now an official version of the far more capable Former2, which has the temerity to exist without being "AI Powered."
The general availability release offers a new user experience for managing prototyping, recording, and code generation workflows, along with AWS CDK and CloudFormation code generation powered by Amazon Q machine learning models.
