Introduction

I’ve been building CloudBrew, a tool that lets you spin up cloud resources across AWS, GCP, and Azure with a single command—no long configs, no confusing setup. Just type what you want, and it figures out the rest.

Example

cloudbrew create vm my-vm --provider aws --apply --yes

Core Idea

Cloud infrastructure should feel instant, not like a 30‑second ritual.

Current Features

  • Smart prompts if you forget something
  • Secure login checks
  • Tests passing for the core engine

Note: Some parts of the orchestration and cross‑cloud mapping are still a bit… cursed 😅

Call for Feedback

If you’ve built cloud tools, CLIs, or anything DevOps‑related, I’d love your thoughts. Even a “this is dumb, do it this way” is welcome.

The goal is to make cloud infra feel more like brew install and less like debugging YAML at 2 AM.
