My experience over the past year mirrors this. I'm regularly surprised that there aren't more generally-accepted and boosted solutions to lots of the minutiae that comes with DevOps/cloud config. CloudFormation and Terraform are both pretty bare bones - they give you tools to describe any cloud resource and the way they relate to eachother. That's great! But I'd rather not be left in charge of defining how cloud resources can securely communicate - I'd rather include an AWS/HashiCorp-supported module that predefines configuration for adding a Redis cache to something, or letting only certain resources connect to a database. Terraform modules were a nice start, but I've pretty much never seen a module I would trust using. It may just be my own bad luck, but the vast majority of the TF Modules I've looked at are A.) A single maintainer, B.) 10 stars or less, C.) Haven't been updated in 6 months. The combination of the above 3 do not leave me feeling confident in including a library. I wish that there was an easier way to tread the paths of those that have done the work. |
