AWS has been very chummy with HashiCorp and Terraform in the last few years, going so far as to announce a Landing Zone collaboration with them

https://www.hashicorp.com/resources/aws-terraform-landing-zo...

and of course the https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk

I am not sure what I would think of an offering from one cloud provider to support another cloud provider, just seems shady as hell. I could see AWS spinning out an MSP that would handle multi-cloud stuff, because AWS MSP would be "cloud experts", but that might be a stretch too, TBH.

I really see them taking Terraform, and the CDK, and pushing that as their multi-cloud if they were to really lean into that, but there is little to no reward (as I see it) for them doing such a thing. It would just be another tool that will gather dust in a few months while they venture off to exploit another Open Source project in their MSP Cloud providings
