 The **mozilla-it/refractr** repository has a **dodo.py** ([doit](https://pydoit.org/)) that defines the list of tasks that can be performed. This approach was chosen to allow the developer to run the same automation at their desk as what is run during CI. This promotes tight feedback loops for the developers and confidence that once the changes are pushed they are most likely to succeed because they have already run them locally.  Below is the output of the **doit list** command.  Note: this requires to be logged into the correct AWS account via **maws**.
