Serious question. What value does Terraform provide?
Two years ago I looked into it and rather then having an abstraction from cloud providers it seemed to require to still target (and code against) each one specifically.
So, I was quite disappointed as I thought the value proposition was to not have to know x cloud provider specific terminologies.
Any insights much appreciated.
Edit: I was a little worried asking such a naive question but the comments are super useful! Thanks everyone for sharing your insights.
