tagging provider resources? not speaking for every provider or api, but at least on AWS not everything that can be managed supports tagging.

also this requires N api calls each time you check the state for an update. scaling that to a larger team may be difficult due to rate limits.

infra as code tools have to operate within the parameters that the provider apis allow. so when i say it’s hard to imagine, i’m thinking about limitations of the underlying apis.

totally possible im missing something obvious, but there’s a good reason that centralized state exists today. genuinely curious about how we could ditch it in a reasonable way with the existing big cloud APIs.
