"One of the most valuable features is that it offers the ability to create a VPC, Virtual Private Cloud and VPN connectivity to the VPC can be automated without having to do it manually."
"The state backend, automated describe functionality, modular structures, and variablization using templates are most valuable."
"The solution allows us to work faster with ease and to set up new environments and workspaces."
"One of the most valuable features is that it offers the ability to create a VPC, Virtual Private Cloud and VPN connectivity to the VPC can be automated without having to do it manually."
"This solution is a fast and secure way to provision infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the support for different platforms like cloud, datacenters, VCS, databases, various storage types, and Kubernetes."
"I like the function that shows me a preview of what is happening in the infrastructure."
"The ARM template is very easy to work with, which is a big help to us."
"When it comes to managing both Red Hat and SUSE environments, it provides the support for live patching, which is something I really, really appreciate."
"This solution could be improved by adding features such as CDM to accelerate the access of data by the users."
"The state locking functionality can be improved. In certain situations, we have to force-unlock the state, which sometimes does not work. When that happens, we have to manually go to the state backend and remove that particular state, which is kind of a cumbersome process. It should also have more functions, more expressions, and support for more products."
"I would like to see a short-term option for a short-term plan."
"If you are copying something from a well running machine to a remote machine, there are some issues with the current version, but it is acceptable."
"They have added a feature that helps us to import existing resources to our workspace, but if they can help us to create the code for the import, as well, then it would be a great addition."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of seven; strictly because I was uncomfortable using the ARM template earlier. After another six months, I am sure I will give it a rating of 10, but at this point in time in my experience, I say seven, but not because of the tool itself."
"I still struggle a bit when configuring VPNs when we have multiple rules. If we have five or six virtual private clouds and we have to give rights between those multiple VPCs, we can have big problems. I think it was a learning curve and then we improved it."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
