CloudFormation is too limited. I imagine most companies use much more than AWS. Off the top of my head, we use Cloudflare, PagerDuty, GitLab, etc all of which have Terraform providers.

What happens when you have to use something outside of AWS? How do you codify those changes?

Merely as the technical answer to your question, not as advocacy: CFN has custom providers [0] and they've started publishing quite a few implementations on GH (but I haven't tried them to know if they're for real): e.g. https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-res...

As far as I know, it is possible to bridge terraform providers into a CFN stack using that mechanism, similar to how Pulumi works
