New Dedicated AWS Cloud Control Provider Released

We've released a new dedicated StackQL AWS Cloud Control provider, providing full CRUDL operations across AWS services via the Cloud Control API including purpose-built resource definitions leveraging Cloud Control's consistent schema.

Resource Naming Convention​

Resources follow a clear pattern to differentiate operations:

Resource PatternOperationsUse Case
{resource} (e.g., s3.buckets)SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETEFull CRUD with complete resource properties
{resource}_list_only (e.g., s3.buckets_list_only)SELECTFast enumeration of resource identifiers

This separation means listing thousands of resources won't trigger rate limits from individual GET calls:

-- Fast enumeration (list operation only)
SELECT bucket_name 
FROM awscc.s3.buckets_list_only 
WHERE region = 'us-east-1';

-- Full resource details (get operation)
SELECT * 
FROM awscc.s3.buckets 
WHERE region = 'us-east-1' 
AND data__Identifier = 'my-bucket';

Provider Coverage​

The awscc provider includes:

  • 237 services and 2371 resources covering the breadth of AWS
  • Full CRUDL support for all Cloud Control compatible resources
  • Consistent schema derived from AWS CloudFormation resource specifications

Example Operations​

Create an S3 Bucket​

INSERT INTO awscc.s3.buckets (
  BucketName,
  region
)
SELECT 
  'my-new-bucket',
  'us-east-1';

Query EC2 Instances​

SELECT 
  instance_id,
  instance_type,
  tags
FROM awscc.ec2.instances
WHERE region = 'ap-southeast-2'
AND data__Identifier = 'i-1234567890abcdef0';

Delete a Resource​

DELETE FROM awscc.lambda.functions
WHERE data__Identifier = 'my-function'
AND region = 'us-east-1';

Enhanced Documentation​

The provider documentation at awscc.stackql.io now features:

  • Interactive schema explorer with expandable nested property trees
  • Complete field documentation including complex object structures
  • Ready-to-use SQL examples for SELECT, INSERT, and DELETE operations
  • IAM permissions reference for each resource operation

Get Started​

Pull the new provider:

stackql registry pull awscc

Query your AWS resources:

stackql shell
>> SELECT region, bucket_name FROM awscc.s3.buckets_list_only WHERE region = 'us-east-1';
