I actually thought your comments on having centrally described infrastructure pretty deserving of its own reply.

Because switching to Terraform doesn't mean you would lose this capability. It just moves it from the AWS console to your code repository. Correctly written Terraform code will show what is deployed in AWS and how it's inter-related.

Unfortunately while Terraform is an IaC tool, it will allow you to write non-IaC code. So if you have a Terraform root module, but you cant tell what's deployed where, because someone made the AWS creds a variable instead of hard coded... That's not real IaC.
