+1. Infrastructure as code is exactly that, code. For AWS it is Cloudformation template code, Cloudformation service and some CI/CD on top, like jenkins or ansible. Or Terraform for unlucky ones. K8s is container orchestration, like AWS ECS, totally different beast.
- StavrosK 7y agoCloudFormation is for the lucky ones and Terraform the unlucky ones? I'm thinking you've never used one of the two...
- auslander 7y agoOn AWS, Cloudformation is far more reliable and lean (less LOC) than TF. No corrupted state issues, all resource properties are supported, parallel (fast) resource creation just for starters. And TF sales pitch about "multi-cloud" is nonsence, resources are too different between different clouds.
