    I understand the concern but I think you’re just not really in the target demographic for the project. Terraform is a very well known infrastructure-as-code tool, and the other companies listed are suppliers of commercial products that build on top of what Terraform provides.

      But i wouldn’t know i guess.

      Thats what irks me. Say some smaller project is taking off and needs a better scaling environment. I will not find out about any of this open source alternative, ever.

        But how deep should these explanations go? Does every mention of Terraform also require an explanation of “infrastructure” (in the IT sense) and “code”? “Cloud”? It’s all unexplained definitions all the way down, unless you write a book before the article. A certain level of audience knowledge is always required.
