CLI
| pros | cons |
|---|---|
| most cloud providers CLIs aren’t terrible1 | error dependency ordering and timeouts can be tricky |
| the barrier to entry isn’t very high | command returns ‘resource created’, when the request is accepted not when the resource is actually finished |
| you can automate this | not declarative / idempotent |
| you can restrict this to service accounts limited to a specific scope or subset of resources | still hard to audit |
