Seemingly every couple of days, someone on Twitter whom I follow will exclaim "Oh noes, Terraform did something bad".
Seems like a 'principle of least surprise' violation.
Is that something others have observed?
- morgante 10y agoI've never run into that myself. I do always inspect the plan before applying, but fortunately Terraform makes that easy. Personally, I prefer it to alternatives like Boto/Troposphere because it's fully declarative and not coupled to a single cloud.
- Leon 10y agoI'm going to throw one thing in here about terraform over boto / etc, it's actually really nice to have a way to put together your own modules. I think they could do a better job with some common libs to make it easier, but overall it's super powerful.
