Cloud Control provides a direct API to the primitive functions that underpin CloudFormation resources. So, if you look closely at what it's doing (hint: "desired state" parameter), Cloud Control is declarative on the resource side.

I don't think that replaces other AWS resource schedulers like Terraform and Pulumi, but it could, uh, embrace them into a more CloudFormation-oriented ecosystem, which is clever.

Yeah or open the doors to competitors since it'd be far easier to get that piece done. Terraform would just become a planner and a half baked language
