I agree. I recently got responsibility for deploying an app on EKS. After collaboration with DevOps on Terraform, K8s/Helm and the myriad of assistive services, I wanted to replicate some of the infra privately, using another cloud provider.

My experience is that Terraform does encourage vendor lock-in because every cloud have slightly different resource topologies. Picking which resources to manage yourself in a cluster, and which to manage by Terraform seems like a place to strike a balance.

This is exactly the experience I wanted to describe, but sadly didn't choose correct words for that.
