Truly cursed take. Loved the “uh… ha ha, got’em!” walk-back in the addendum. Here’s an another anecdote for you, if that’s what we’re basing our arguments on:

Truly cursed take. Loved the “uh… ha ha, got’em!” walk-back in the addendum. Here’s an another anecdote for you, if that’s what we’re basing our arguments on: My prior team had dozens of services to deploy and they were all done in the console. It took hours to roll out deployments, people constantly fucked something up (wrong version, missed dependency, config variable, etc), you had spend sometimes up to an hour to get a picture of how a service was currently stood up, was almost completely opaque and thus extremely expensive to get new hires up to speed, obviated the ability to perform post deploy automation for smoke tests and such, required giving leads broad access to environments that needed to be locked down, and the best part was you had to do it all over again for each environment. All of this went completely away when I rolled it into CloudFormation, hooked it into CI/CD pipeline, and let a maintainer kick it off with the click of a button. I guess I must have been doing something wrong /s
