That seems a strange way to look at things to me. If you're going to give credit for things that a devops engineer can do inside the Kubernetes platform, why not given equivalent credit for what a devops engineer can do with a Terraform module that would achieve substantially similar levels of automation and integration with ECS?

Also weird to leave out which things are versioned things that must be installed, maintained, and upgraded by you (e.g. cert-manager, an ALB controller, the Kubernetes control plane) that do not apply to a Terraform (or CloudFormation)-based deployment to ECS.
