The FAQ has a bit more information: https://aws.amazon.com/proton/faqs/ https://aws.amazon.com/proton/faqs/ And by "a bit" I mean I'm still wondering what exactly this service provides. Is this high-level management and grouping for CloudFormation templates?

It seems to be? Which is a deal breaker for me as I manage everything with terraform

  Right, this seems to be a replacement for Terraform, with the caveat that it only works for AWS. That may be OK if you exclusively run workloads on AWS. If they can get people to switch to it, that would seem to increase the friction of switching to some other provider (i.e. a business win for Amazon). If you're invested in Terraform already, and have dealt with the headaches of managing that .tfstate file properly, this likely isn't worth looking at... yet. If you're a newbie and haven't really practiced Continuous Delivery before, this is a welcome addition to a gap in Amazon-provided tooling. But for those of us who've been around the block with AWS... Yeah, we'll keep using Terraform and check back in a couple of years.
