AWS Shell vs Morpheus: What are the differences?

Developers describe AWS Shell as "An integrated shell for working with the AWS CLI (by AWS)". The AWS Command Line Interface is a unified tool to manage your AWS services. On the other hand, Morpheus is detailed as "Orchestrate, Automate, and Manage Across Any Cloud". Morpheus is a cloud application management and orchestration platform that works on any cloud or infrastructure, from AWS to bare metal. Enjoy complete cloud freedom with Morpheus.

AWS Shell can be classified as a tool in the "AWS Tools" category, while Morpheus is grouped under "Cloud Management".

Some of the features offered by AWS Shell are:

  • Auto Completion of Commands and Options
  • Shorthand Auto Completion
  • Server Side Auto Completion

On the other hand, Morpheus provides the following key features:

  • Provisioning - Intuitive UI lets you provision databases, apps, and app stack components on any server or cloud — on-premise, private, public, or hybrid — within seconds. Provisioning is performed asynchronously, allowing multiple IT systems to be provisioned simultaneously.
  • Rapid Implementation - The future is fast. That’s why a typical Morpheus installation takes just 60 minutes and requires minimal IT support. Saving you time and money, so you can focus on what truly matters to your organization.
  • Elastic Scaling & Failover - Easily manage databases and apps by adding more nodes on the web UI, CLI, or through an API call. Morpheus automatically configures the database or app cluster to accommodate these new nodes.

AWS Shell is an open source tool with 4.9K GitHub stars and 410 GitHub forks. Here's a link to AWS Shell's open source repository on GitHub.
