This is by far the best way to deploy compute into AWS in containerized workloads.
The abstraction you want is Jobs: ttps://aws.github.io/copilot-cli/docs/concepts/jobs/
Building this any other way on AWS would require provisioning multiple artifacts. The Copilot Jobs abstraction basically encapsulates the provisioning of those artifacts into one repeatable pattern.
Co-founder of Porter (https://porter.run) here - we do not use Terraform under the hood. We moved away from an IaC based system earlier this year to better manage our users' infrastructure distributed across multiple cloud accounts. A decision that definitely turned out to be conveniently prescient :)
With this new system, we are also able to immediately reconcile drifts that occur in our user's infrastructure, which an IaC based system did not allow us to do.
