CloudFormer appears to be end of life despite there being no official announcement from AWS

There's no official announcement from AWS but see these forum posts:

"We are not planning to enhance CloudFormer in its current form. We recommend using https://former2.com/, an opensource tool contributed by Ian McKay"

Luis Eduardo Colon, Sr Dev Advocate for AWS CloudFormation

CloudFormer is actually a very old tool that is not maintained. It has been in "beta" for many years.

CloudFormer appears to be end of life despite there being no official announcement from AWS. The AWS blogs haven't been updated but official documentation no longer mentions the product.

• The last blog post on CloudFormer was in 2013 . All other blog posts on CloudFormer are in 2013 .

• The post contains the following

To use CloudFormer, launch a CloudFormation stack . For more details, the AWS CloudFormation User Guide walks you through starting up and using CloudFormer to generate a template.

• The first link is broken

• The second link does not contain any references to CloudFormer

• The 'Choose a sample template' in the UI mention in this document no longer mentions CloudFormer:
