Yeah. Terraform is the mature standard for this. To me it feels like OP isn't that familiar with large scale infra work.

- DVassallo 7y agoAuthor here. I helped manage thousands servers at Amazon across 20 regions. Obviously Terraform wasn’t an option :)
- evilmushroom 7y agoMy company runs AWS cloud all 20 of the non government regions as well, google cloud, and our own data centers around the world. Yeah certain regions (hello eu-north-1) are problemmatic, but we have work arounds for that. Terraform has been fine.
- viraptor 7y ago> Obviously Terraform wasn’t an option :) Why?
- DVassallo 7y agoBecause I worked at AWS for the last 8 years :) Tbh, I don’t think it’s prohibited, but CloudFormation was the default choice.
- sieabahlpark 7y agoYou probably would have run into security issues with using terraform as each version would have to be vetted and any extensions you use
- captn3m0 7y agoThe Terraform AWS providers are maintained by AWS engineers, but the rest of the code will still need vetting.
