cli does not support excluding related resources
I am often using former2
to extract a few specific resource definitions from an AWS account to copy into a CloudFormation template.
The web-based interface allows me to exclude any related resources (e.g. if I export an IAM Policy attached to a Role, I can skip the Role).
The CLI does not have an option to exclude related resources so it's less useful (I may as well just use the GUI if I have to go hand edit the output after anyway).
I propose an additional command line option:
---exclude-related do not include related resources in the output
note: I would try and hack this in but I can't quite figure out the workflow from the CLI and the rest of the app to identify where this would get added
