This is certainly a good effort but I've yet to use a web ui to manage web server configs, especially these days when we're moving most of the configuration to code and version control. We usually deploy changes to a test server to test the changes and then move on to production.

Adding a UI doesn’t require you to take config out of your IaaC setup, it could Increase accessibility to logs, monitoring, security warnings, versioning, etc, that your IaaC might be strongly lacking. There are weaknesses to IaaC that a tool like this may supplement.

  That’s true if the UI is a read-only dashboard. If the UI can affect behavior then you don’t have IaaC anymore.

      People make mistakes. Relying on people to have perfect discipline and make no errors results in incidents in production.

  I don't really understand how a tool that enables configuration changes outside of the version controlled loop can improve an IaaC setup. It gives you a shortcut that you may end up taking, making it easier than modifying by hand some configuration via an SSH connection.
