Infrastructure teams struggle to tear down IaC-managed resources safely
Infrastructure engineers hit friction when removing Terraform- or CDK-managed environments: a destroy can be blocked by protection settings, prompt for irrelevant variables, or try to delete resources they want to keep. Teams also describe awkward review-workflow steps and manual workarounds. The reports point to a shared teardown problem, though most signals are Terraform-specific.
For infrastructure engineers and platform teams managing cloud resources with IaC. Mentioned from Jan 2016 to Aug 2023 on GitHub.

We had to abandon terraform destroy because of the lack of this feature. As mentioned it does a sometimes undesirable procedure of deleting inner resources before deleting container
Currently been doing this with different projects/directories. But it would be nice to keep the entire stack together as one piece
