What do you propose to replace CloudFormation with, especially since you’ve gone scorched earth on the related products?

I would be fine if they built a new tool with 2024 IaC experience and control. But I think trying to evolve CFN into a new thing would take far too long and have a lot of edge cases that they should just start over and stop trying to paper over it with CDK, Proton, ACK, etc.

CDK seems like it could support multiple backends, and in fact there’s cdk8s already (having never used cdk8s, I can’t comment more on it). The CF data model seems fine enough though, so I think overall CF just needs a lot of love. Not holding my breath though.

I use cdk8s to manage my homelab [0]. It's a great experience.
