I recently created a static site at a zone apex without Route53. Everything else just works, well, as you illustrate. > Play with CloudFormation for 2 days writing oodles of mind numbing YAML and realise that you have to create the ACM cert and CF distribution in a different region to your bucket but that's impossible. The discrepancies in cross-region support specifically with ACM drives me nuts. I noped away from Terraform back in 2019. At the time, the state management component was too immature, and it was a little.. lose with credential security. You may like Ansible far more if you’d like something a bit more declarative, readable, and with “batteries included.” I have a close friend who is an EE and he finds tools like Ansible much more intuitive and enjoyable than Terraform and CloudFormation. Every tool has its master.
