Interesting. I want to see how Terraform fares in this aspect.

Terraform only for me, have not experienced anything better.

sontek • Jul 9, 2021 • View on HN

Yeah, terraform cloud from hashicorp does this

Cloud formation is after lacking support for resources that are new or less popular. Terraform is much better in this, supports most of the resources from the start as far as I know

I'm not really familiar with terraform, I'll check it out.

Any reasons why I'd use this over Terraform?

Aeolun • May 28, 2022 • View on HN

I would suggest maybe bypassing terraform entirely and going to something like Pulumi or CDK.

Legogris • Aug 20, 2020 • View on HN

This issue is to a large extent addressed by Terraform Cloud.

gchamonlive • May 20, 2020 • View on HN

indeedthen terraform is probably not the right tool and cloudformation is a better suited solution

Isn't this what Hashicorp's Terraform also provides?
