Would you be willing to share a CF template that is 10x less then the equivelent terraform ? It has been my experience that terraform is much less verbose and much more reuseable via modules. Cloud Formation I have seen has always seems excessive and quite convoluted to do simple tasks.
Can’t get much less verbose than cloudformation yaml in combination with usage of only required parameters for a resource. For example, write a cloudformation yaml template that creates an automatically named S3 bucket.
The latest example I have is the cloud formation used to generate EKS clusters(https://amazon-eks.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/1.10.3/2018-07...) it clocks in at 168 LOC and the equivalent terraform (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/terraform-providers/terraf...) is only 53 LOC
