That tends to be the norm with Terraform, too :)

If it's like Terraform, you still need to know exactly what the tool is doing and how the services behave under the hood.

God yes. I confidently pushed 'apply' in production a couple of times before I ever encountered these problems. Luckily it blew chunks in the new data center we were trying to set up. Yes, an app is more likely to start cleanly when all of its dependencies are up and running, but still.

So much for Ops setting expectations.
