Indeed. Setting up infrastructure properly and documenting it properly is even more complex than coding, to me.
I can go back to code I wrote months or years ago, and assuming I architectured and documented it idiomatically, I takes me only a bit of time to start being able to reason about it effectively.
With infrastructure is it a whole different story. Within weeks of not touching it (which happens if it just works) I start to have trouble retaining a good mental model of it. if I have to dig into it, I'll have to spend a lot of time getting re-acquainted with how it all fits together again.
- macintux 1y agoAs much as Cloudformation and Terraform annoy me (thankfully I’ve never been burdened with k8s) there is something magical about having your infrastructure captured in code.
