With terraform, I at least only have to learn one syntax, so there’s at least that, if noting else.

- sciurus 7y agoIt does plenty of good. I have software that spans AWS, Azure, and GCP (don't ask me why). I can easily manage it as a cohesive whole, e.g. using an ip address provisioned in GCP as the target of a DNS record provisioned in AWS. I can spin it all up in a single call to a single tool. Under the hood, terraform is just using the AWS APIs. If an error occurs with them, getting support isn't an issue.
