Trying to understand the boundaries envisioned for Waypoint

Yes, great question. I’m also interested in the relationship between terraform and waypoint as it relates to creating target infrastructure for ecs/fargate. I like how waypoint can optionally create the infrastructure, but also allows it to be configured after creating it with something like terraform. We have a large number of terraform templates for different types of fargate architectures and a tool to wrangle them. It would be nice to have a lighter-weight waypoint plugin that simply creates task definitions and deploys them to ECS services. To do that, it would only need to be configured with the cluster, service, and task definition details. Maybe I’ll write a plugin for that.

Thanks again for waypoint! I’m super excited about it.
