Rename infra to platform or infrastructure

[JayDoubleu]

It appears that infra is the only reference in schema that's shorthand.
I believe it would be better to call it by more suitable name like infrastructure or platform given the impact this project is going to have in the future.

To be clear, you'd like to see the azure.yaml schema property infra renamed to be infrastructure or platform and are not asking to change the name of the directory we look for IaC files in right? The latter is configurable in the azure.yaml.

That said, I think that infra communicates the same intent as infrastructure but it's just a bit shorter. Personal preference probably comes into play here!

Thanks for the response, @savannahostrowski . I'm a huge fan, by the way.

You're absolutely right; this is 100% personal preference on my part. Hence, I thought to open this discussion rather than an issue. To be honest, I'm not fond of the term "infrastructure". It reminds me of those days when Devs would call on the Infra guys to accomplish X or grant them permission to do Y, before the advent of DevOps and Platform Engineering.

You can probably judge from my response which side of the wall I'm coming from. Looking at azd from a certain point of view, I see a potential orchestrator or a thin wrapper around terraform and bicep to keep things "DRY" similar to terragrunt but azure native.

Given that the "services" are being deployed onto the "platform" It might just make sense to take in into the consideration for the future schema changes :)
