I'd be curious to hear what you see as a better alternative to all of this "IAC crap." Also how many IAC vendors are there really? Hashicorp, Pulumi and AWS? What are the others? As I recall before cloud era infrastructure on any kind scale was still code, its just that the code was maintaining thousands of lines of Kickstart of FAI configs and associated preinstall and postinstall shell scripts. I don't remember that being any more pleasant to maintain.
