So much hate ITT for such a great tool. Terraform is definitely not perfect but it's still one of my favorite tools, solely because of the amount of efficiency gained from learning it. Yes HCL is not perfect, but it is definitely adequate for a lot of applications. IMO, Hashicorp makes some of the most well thought out tools and I am grateful of their attitude towards open source.


ITT = In This Thread. ( I had to look it up )


I’ve preferred cloud formation for many years. the amount of time I spend debugging problems related to TF is infuriating. at least with aws.


The amount of tooling that has sprung out around managing large CloudFormation deployments is exactly the reason TF exists. CloudFormation is an untenable mess.


No, it’s just that it’s not fun to learn.


Terraform makes me happy, I use it daily on AWS and GCP. I can't stand Cloud Formation.
