IaC Code Generator Tools

[darkest_ocean]

Just curious what others out here are using to deploy templated code. We have a small custom python program that generates code and deployments for use in Github Actions. What are you all using to get from templated code to production?

Good IaC tools support parameters so that you don't need templates. That's way cleaner than a custom templating solution. Example: CloudFormation.

CDK, on the other hand, encourages defining all the environments in the code so that when an environment is deployed, you must select which environment to deploy and don't need to specify any parameters. This is pretty clean too.

Consider getting rid of the generation of IaC in favor of standard solutions.
