- zxcmx 7y agoProvisioning cloud stuff ends up being about the relationships between all the things. Plus a bunch of dirty domain knowledge about retries and resource schemas. It's very difficult to delete infra in AWS without a resource graph once you have enough things that refer to each other. You can only get so far with a bunch of isolated yaml manifests for single resources. So the MVP of anything that can solve the general case basically ends up doing the exact same things as terraform... and might as well actually be terraform.
