Wasn’t this exactly terraform or CloudFormation needs to do. You can just have a web wrapper on top of it

Might recommend env0 as the web wrapper, as have found they’re useful for ad-hoc/on-demand environments from a Terraform template https://www.env0.com/managed-self-service

If all you want is a user self-service portal, Backstage is probably overkill. There's a cottage industry of cloud management platforms that will do this: Scalr, Morpheus, Embotics, etc. If you're in a big IT department, you may own already own (e.g.) VMware vRealize, ServiceNow, Cisco CloudCenter, HP OneView, any of which would also do the job

Check out Upbound/Crossplane as well. Upbound is the company with a paid service and Crossplane is the opensource solution. They've just announced a public marketplace which might speed up things as well. Note it is focused primarily on cloud infrastructure orchestration with providers for each of the major public cloud platforms. I've been tinkering with combining it with Kubevela but might also give Env0 a look at as well based on @Andrew Kirkpatrick’s mention here.

Thanks everyone for suggestions! 🙂 Maybe someone knows how cutomizable is Morpheus?

Flexibility is the main selling point of Morpheus. My sense is it's much more flexible than its direct competitors, though I'm basing that only on demos and conversations with the Morpheus team. I have no hands-on-keyboard experience.
