Terraform is not going to make you cloud-agnostic. If you switch cloud providers, you'll still use Terraform but you will have to rewrite much, if not all, of your TF code.

Yeah, it is disappointing that something like this isn't the standard but I can code it myself if I really want to:

And even if I don't, I imagine rewriting a terraform workflow is probably easier than taking cloudformation code and then rewriting it into whatever the equivalent is in google or microsoft land. Atm I'm pretty happy with aws and don't see myself moving but I like to have the option if needed.
