You do not have to sequence resource creation manually because the template engine determines dependencies and deploys related resources in the correct order.

Declarative templates describe the desired end state and the relationships between resources so the engine can construct a dependency graph. The engine then plans the create, update, and delete operations and it executes them in an order that respects those dependencies while running independent actions in parallel when safe. This behavior removes the need for a human to hand order each resource and it reduces errors from missing or incorrect sequencing.

Terraform is not the correct choice because simply naming a tool does not answer why manual ordering is unnecessary. Terraform is an example of a declarative tool that also computes dependencies, but the underlying reason is the declarative style and dependency resolution provided by the template engine.

Declarative templates integrate well with version control systems like GitHub is true in the sense that templates are easy to store and track, but integration with version control does not explain why you do not need to manually sequence resource creation. Version control helps with change management and collaboration rather than execution order.

Declarative templates typically only need small manual edits before each deployment to avoid naming conflicts is incorrect because declarative templates are meant to be parameterized and repeatable. Naming conflicts are normally handled with variables, unique identifiers, or automated naming schemes rather than manual edits before every deployment.
