Idk if its just me but these sort of frameworks seem the make it intentionally hard to figure out wtf they are for.
None of these names mean anything to me.
The entire FAQ doesn't spend a syllable saying what it is for, except that its like Terraform. Which is a bad name to google.
After searching around, it seems to be some vaugely defined devops/cloud management thing.
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.
