If you're using Terraform, why are you having problems with the interconnectedness? That's exactly the benefit of Terraform. Parameterizing all the configuration dependencies is its brilliance. Nothing I've come across is as simple and easy to use and understand while still being able to fully managing an entire infrastructure.

I wouldn't say we were having problems using Terraform for interconnectedness. The complexity of services used at this point warrants a person who can evaluate the architecture we've created. Can we optimise for cost, did we make the right MZ decisions, etc.

Terraform was what made AWS possible for us. I would not have used the GUI.
