> Any of the cloud-provided orchestration tools (Cloudformation, Openstack Heat etc.) are great only for the most basic tasks; using them to provision complex infrastructure is just begging for a world of hurt. It's also fun when you have to standardize something that was either created by hand in the Web UI (and has a bunch of hidden default values set), or was by some other orchestration tool, and then you have to import/recreate it in terraform. It's usually a PITA, but you'll learn a lot!
