Is there anywhere I can find a matrix of what services are emulated and how complete that emulation is? I tried the docs but just ended up going round in circles.

I mock (ask Claude Code to make something run in a container) my own AWS services today for CI and development. I'm excited to learn more about how AWS uses it and hopefully use this for CI and development.

Not to be rude, but your profile doesn't list who you are in relation to AWS.

Any chance it will be able to spawn actual containers in the future?

Okay I've asked for this product for literally years on a cadence of every 18 months, so I'm very thankful to hear this.

>> Skeptical of using because it's not clear whether this was just an exercise or a real product they are going to ship and maintain.

> It’s a real product that we plan to maintain.

29,684 commits in a repository less than a month old does not instill confidence in this being a "real product." That is roughly 1,000 accepted commits per day.

Good! Been waiting for a first party thing like this.

It’s actually interesting that such a thing exists. It’s in Amazon’s interest that the only way to test a lot of services is to have a test environment in AWS.

Nothing personal, but unless you can link us to a public announcement made by Amazon, your statement is worth less than nothing.

Official statements made by a company are still poor representations of their current business plans, and don't mean anything 3 months later (no matter how much they pinky promise). But a HN post isn't even that.

Until the plan changes, which at some point, it will. Comment is still appreciated for what it is.

Edit: Comment is in the spirit of "it gets tiring to build on sand which is at the whims of corporate management folks far disconnected from the actual work." If someone is asserting "this will stick around," words are insufficient, words are free. Show me the contract, show me the penalties for failure to abide by the assertion.
