A UI for cloud services is super helpful to have when exploring, troubleshooting, and noodling around. But yeah, massive red flag if anyone’s using it to deploy production services.

I deploy my sql with Ui cuz ugh… I do it once per year max, and it’s docker everywhere else.

That’s a pretty myopic view of what a UI can be used for. I’m all in on IAC but still like having a UI to click around to observe state rather than memorize a bunch of CLI commands.

And even if I can get what I need via CLI it's nice that higher level people in the org can click around and get what they need without having to bother me to retrieve the data for them.

We have 99% IaC.

I still don't mind upgrading a k8s cluster on the UI, monitoring it's healthy and than patching the tf code for the newest minor version.
