I get why you would want to do select * from infra, but not sure I understand why you would want to do "insert * into infra" and not use something like terraform? interested in hearing the use-case.
Credit where credit is due CF is better than it used to be. Of course just like TF doesn't rollback CF will rollback and on an initial deploy you get in this weird state where you have to completely remove your stack to try again.
But it was significantly faster than it used to be. I never want to use it tho.
Well, that’s only 5 years too late to make me consider it :P
The situation where anything goes wrong, and you just sit there staring at CF being unable to delete some S3 bucket for hours, eventually going into the console manually and deleting it in one second. Has left me really sour on the whole thing.
Half true. The true half is that terraform will work out of the box with basically all clouds and many saas vendors. The untrue half is that terraform does nothing to abstract away the underlying vendor. You cant treat gcp VMs the same as aws EC2 instances. You do get to reuse HCL.
