- doctorpangloss 3y agoYou’re right but the kind of people who buy this service buy into the perception that Terraform is cloud agnostic, and perception is reality. Another POV is that the compliance companies sell the holistic social experience of compliance. The people for whom this matters need checkboxes and don’t mind paying for consulting disguised as a CSA. In fact they may even prefer it.
- selinkocalar 3y agoAt the end of the day, whether its AWS S3, GCP Buckets, Azure Blob Storage, or EKS, AKS, GKE — there are services to serve as drop in replacements for their competitors. The principles of deployment will remain the same as it pertains to access and compute allocation, but obviously the resource definitions, and the definition syntax, is unique. We’re solely focused on building out our AWS support (a function of market pull), and plan to use the same architecture design for additional cloud providers when it comes time to make that jump. Completely get where you’re coming from w.r.t. organizations looking to check a box. If we wanted to sell to those organizations, we would stop short of architecting their infrastructure and implementing best practices. A checkbox is never enough, and a point in time review can be easily gamed.
