    Note that you can now use TF providers "on the fly" from Pulumi: https://www.pulumi.com/blog/any-terraform-provider . No provider bridging/conversion necessary. I just tried and it…

    [Joe, Pulumi Founder here.] Said well (and thank you for being a customer and valuable member of our community!) The analogy I draw sometimes is that our open source infrastructure…

    Pulumi Founder/CEO here. The blog post is disingenuous. We tried many times to contribute upstream fixes to Terraform providers, but HashiCorp would never accept them. So we've had…

    As a concrete example of what this enables, the Pulumi Automation API lets you embed IaC straight into a bigger program. Folks have used this to create infrastructure-oriented SaaS…

    [caveat, Pulumi co-founder here] Pulumi is fully functional in open source form. The analogy I like to draw is Git and GitHub. You can use Git fully independent of GitHub, or you c…

    [caveat, Pulumi co-founder here] You are right that it's not easy. Thankfully the cloud providers themselves have moved in the direction of auto-generation for their own SDKs, docu…

    Excellent topic. [caveat, Pulumi co-founder here] Indeed what you say is true of many other "multi-language" platforms. I was an early engineer on .NET at Microsoft, and although i…

    The defining characteristic about Pulumi compared to other tools is that it's not a transpiler, in fact. It's a multi-language runtime written in Go that can host many language plu…

    > is it possible to do that without having to use the CLI? Are you doing any sort of state locking here? Yeah it's just a file if you prefer to edit it. By default, Pulumi uses our…

    You're right, the Pulumi example is a project, not a reusable module. There are a few approaches to making it modular: 1) The project does support config. So if you want to change …

    [Disclaimer: also member of the Pulumi team.] We've worked with a lot of end users to migrate from Terraform, and we honestly do see a lot of copy-and-paste. I agree that it's not …

    Our free tier is still there and here to stay. What did we do to make you think it's been sunsetted? :-(

    We have ksonnet expats on the team (we're all in cloud city -- Seattle), and I've been keeping an eye on that project myself, since I think it got a lot of things right and frankly…

    Definitely. I was a part of C# in the early days, so little else would make me happier than awesome class .NET support. This'll be great for Azure folks -- who knows, PowerShell to…
