CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

Laser Focus, Responsive Dev
I started using this product today and had it up in 10 minutes. It did take me a moment to resize my expectations, since I come from elasticsearch hyperscale thinking. The system basically queries your aws vpc flow logs via api for the last (default 1 million) x's and then cross-correlates your vpc, flow, security groups etc. into a very nice UX. Its definately no-frills, its kind of like a Crepe Pan, highly specialized, very focused. This is NOT a historical show me the logs kind of a thing. This is more of a "Show me what is happening with your flow logs now". kind of thing. It works on astonishingly small hardware and is usable almost instantly (compared to several other nameless fancy ones that use elastic and cost me upwards of 25 hours of @#$@#$#$%#$% frustration because they didn't work!).
Unleashes the power of flow logs
Flow logs have always been a point of frustration for me while monitoring my VPC traffic. It was always extremely difficult to interpret and find the data I was looking for. Pia software has saved me time and energy and allows me to sort and search however I want within my flow logs. If you need to locate information quickly to avoid threats to your network, this tool will be very helpful for you.
Useful!
Parsing VPC Flow Logs is a nightmare at the best of times. This has some great features: sorting, dns lookup, and readable time stamps (to name the most important for me). The interface is quite slick.
Setup was super quick and painless. It took about 10 minutes total, where most of that was spent waiting for my t2.micro instance to spin up.
Overall, excellent addition to a useful security product.
Makes Flow Logs a lot easier to work with
This makes flow logs a lot easier to find info in. Cloudwatch searching is pretty pathetic, so this helps a lot especially with time ranges. Took less than 10 minutes to set up, and it does what it says it does!
