Stacks
Quake AI concept: Automation
- Quake AI offers Heat (legacy OpenStack orchestration) and recommends OpenTofu for new IaC work; EKS uses declarative console/CLI.
- EKS Auto Mode automates data plane; Quake AI uses OpenTofu modules for infrastructure provisioning.
- CloudFormation stacks are managed via AWS-specific REST API (e.g., cloudformation.us-east-1.amazonaws.com) requiring AWS SigV4 auth, while Heat (legacy) uses OpenStack Identity API v3 (keystoneauth) and OpenTofu uses the OpenStack provider with application credentials. Migrators notice different endpoint discovery and auth flows.
- Stacks support StackSets for cross-region/account deployment; Heat has no equivalent. OpenTofu workspaces offer a different multi-environment pattern.
