I believe there was a case last year when one of the new AWS features was available in Terraform before it made it to CloudFormation :)

I believe there was a case last year when one of the new AWS features was available in Terraform before it made it to CloudFormation :)
- oblio 9y agoIt's still the case. I can't find it on mobile, but I asked a StackOverflow question and later answered it myself after discovering something like this buried in the AWS documentation.
- oblio 9y agoYup, found it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45858031/how-to-get-elastic-container-repository-uri-from-cloud-formation/45858961#45858961 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45858031/how-to-get-elas... Terraform supports it, CloudFormation doesn't...
- wgjordan 9y ago> I believe there was a case last year when one of the new AWS features was available in Terraform before it made it to CloudFormation :) Yes, this has been known to happen, here is one example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42142791/2518355 https://stackoverflow.com/a/42142791/2518355 - this AWS feature was added Sep 21 2016, Terraform resource released support on May 11 2017, CloudFormation resource released support on Jun 6 2017. However, several points should be added to this comparison: - CloudFormation supports Custom Resources so you can always implement new AWS features yourself with a few lines of JavaScript, without waiting for the official resource implementation to be published. - CloudFormation resources have extensive documentation, and are officially maintained + supported by AWS.
