infra is a misleading term for cloud things
infra used to mean mostly physical things “irl-infra”
irl-infra is the domain of operations
creating a storage bucket in AWS is not really infra, “cloud-infra”
By calling the services ecosystem you create in a cloud service “infrastructure,” you have planted the idea that the creation, care, and feeding of these services is in the domain of those who traditionally “have root,” are the only ones who can restart a VM, and optimize the mechanisms for backing up servers.
Infrastructure-as-code is tongue-in-cheek, since the phrase is intended (among other things) to highlight the shortcoming of using that term when talking about cloud-infra.
“cloud infrastructure”?
