Listen "That's Not Terraform Orchestration!"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is about Terraform orchestration, what some people might call a TACO, in which we actually tried to do cloud provisioning in a orchestrated way. But this is a really challenging thing to do!
Orchestration is really hard so our discussion kept coming back to saying that this isn't orchestration at all: it's Infrastructure as Code and management.
We need to find a consistent way to to run a workflow or a control plane. We're not even getting to the point where we're coordinating or orchestrating aspects of different systems and using remote or API driven infrastructure.
Even if you use Terraform, you will get a lot out of this discussion!
