Just because you clicked in some webui to do something doesn't mean it's save. You still need to write how to do it, how to bootstrap it and why you do things.

Just because you clicked in some webui to do something doesn't mean it's save. You still need to write how to do it, how to bootstrap it and why you do things. We have a basic tf layer, which does make it well documented, easily extendable and repeatable. Yes we do destroy the whole setup and recreate it. Often no but still. After the tf layer, there is only k8s which is also 100% IaC. Also sry to say but we are experts, learning something like tf should not be a big hurdle. What I saw in old sysadmin setups: tons of snow flake VMS no one knows why they exist, random setups different security versions on it. If you don't have any tool to automate things you will not do it. Feel free to create a small infra setup manually if you prefer, I prefer to codify it once and can recreate it instead of documenting it in some word doc. Tf is not perfect btw.
