wonk
Have you ever used The Policy Wonk to manage your AWS permissions? Cool! Me too! But alas, my ex-employer stopped developing it and archived the repo. I updated my own fork with the latest commits and updated PyPI to point at its new home.
Same Wonk, same dev, same license, new URL. See you there!
Released Wonk v0.8.0
I just pushed Policy Wonk v.0.8.0.
There are no code changes, just dependency updates and other cleanups. Now requires Python 3.9+, the oldest supported version. Migrated from poetry=>uv, black/flake/pylint=>ruff. Fixed minor typing deprecations.
We wrote a pretty powerful AWS infra tool in Python, and haven’t done much with it in a couple years except to update its dependencies.
I’m kinda thinking about porting it to Rust to get some extra type constraints (it’s already mypy-clean, but…) and make it a single executable deployment.
Released The Policy Wonk
Today we released the first public version of “The Policy Wonk”, or just “Wonk”. It’s a nifty tool we’ve been using at Amino for several months to manage our ever-growing set of AWS IAM policies, and acts as a sort of compiler/optimizer to combine lots of them together.
Although it’s a young project, I’m proud of how it shaped up and I think it’ll be useful for lots of people.
