terraform-kubestack VS terraform-azurerm-vmseries-modules

I've recently released a major update for Kubestack, the Terraform framework for Kubernetes platform engineering teams. This update moves all functionality previously provided by Kubestack Cloud into the kbst CLI.

We've got some overlap on the stack part. But I am more focused on the infra side of platform engineering (including bootstrapping clusters), seems for you it's more app dependencies. Check https://www.kubestack.com and ping me if you're interested in chatting.

With Kubestack, the open-source Terraform framework I maintain, I'm on a mission to provide the best developer experience for teams working with Terraform and Kubernetes. And unified provisioning of all platform components, from cluster infrastructure to cluster services, is something I consider crucial in my relentless pursuit of said developer experience.

In this post I hope to provide a few reasons why frameworks make sense for infrastructure as code, Having tried out Kubestack this got me thinking, Should more of these frameworks exist? And do they provide the same value as a traditional web framework like Flask, Express.js, or Ruby on Rails. Now you might be thinking don't tools like Terraform, Ansible, Chef already exists?

Unsurprisingly, my biased proposal is to use Kubestack to provision the GKE and EKS clusters leveraging the Kubestack framework's unified GKE and EKS modules, and to write a custom module to connect the resulting clusters to Anthos. The bespoke module would integrate the IAM, Anthos and Kubernetes resources required fully into the Terraform state and lifecycle instead of calling kubectl and gcloud like the official Google modules do.

Really cool project. I'll put it on the list of things to integrate with my project Kubestack https://github.com/kbst/terraform-kubestack

I'm lookin for a way to deploy a scale set (based on https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/terraform-azurerm-vmseries-modules) and i want to test the whole deployment (Previous repo) with Azure services and discover the palo alto terraform provider for appliance configuration.

based on what I was reading here.. https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/terraform-azurerm-vmseries-modules/tree/main/examples/common_vmseries

I setup PaloAlto in Azure using their Terraform modules, which are based on their reference architecture. https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/terraform-azurerm-vmseries-modules
