AWS CloudShell Alternatives & Comparisons

What are some alternatives to AWS CloudShell?
AWS Amplify
A JavaScript library for frontend and mobile developers building cloud-enabled applications. The library is a declarative interface across different categories of operations in order to make common tasks easier to add into your application. The default implementation works with Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources but is designed to be open and pluggable for usage with other cloud services that wish to provide an implementation or custom backends.
AWS CLI
It is a unified tool to manage your AWS services. With just one tool to download and configure, you can control multiple AWS services from the command line and automate them through scripts.
LocalStack
LocalStack provides an easy-to-use test/mocking framework for developing Cloud applications.
Bash-My-AWS
It is a simple but extremely powerful set of CLI commands for managing resources on Amazon Web Services. They harness the power of Amazon's AWSCLI, while abstracting away verbosity. The project implements some innovative patterns but (arguably) remains simple, beautiful and readable.
AWS Shell
The AWS Command Line Interface is a unified tool to manage your AWS services.
