On: Terraform should have remained stateless

[mountainriver]

Yeah but the extra stuff they add is a trade off and lots of people would rather not have two sources of truth to have it

[rad_gruchalski → mountainriver]

Most of the people I know who use Terraform use Terraform as the source of truth.

[usrn → rad_gruchalski]

You can wish things are a certain way but that doesn't change reality no matter how nice that would be.

[rad_gruchalski → usrn]

Seen this many times. People using a tool in an unintended manner and then bashing the tool.

[mountainriver → rad_gruchalski]

Huh so you access your infra through terraform?

[tedivm → mountainriver]

This conversation is embarrassing for both of you.

[rad_gruchalski → tedivm]

Tell me more please. There’s always something new to learn.

[mountainriver → tedivm]

its super embarrassing if you thing TF is the source of truth when the cloud provider clearly is

[rad_gruchalski → mountainriver]

My infrastructure drifts from my source of truth.

[rad_gruchalski → mountainriver]

Through an API, really.
