Pulumi after years of Terraform
<p>Using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is <a href="https://medium.com/technology-hits/what-is-infrastructure-as-code-32eca55ef76f#:~:text=Infra%20as%20code(IaC)%20is,security%2C%20deliver%20content%2C%20etc." rel="noopener">a no-brainer</a> when working with cloud development. For many years I have used <a href="https://www.terraform.io/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Terraform</a> for this purpose, the most widely adopted tool for IaC. But Terraform is not the only option in the open source community (and questionably <a href="https://blog.gruntwork.io/the-future-of-terraform-must-be-open-ab0b9ba65bca" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">still open source</a>!?).</p>
<p>This article is geared to you that already is familiar with IaC, maybe using terraform today, or considering changing IaC tool.</p>
<p>There are cloud specific tools like AWS <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/cdk/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">CDK</a> (or using AWS <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Cloudformation</a> directly), Azure <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/templates/overview" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">ARM</a>, Microsoft <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/bicep/overview?tabs=bicep" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Bicep</a> and Google Cloud <a href="https://cloud.google.com/deployment-manager/docs" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Deployment Manager</a>. Terraform is cloud agnostic, and there are alternatives for that also. For example <a href="https://www.serverless.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Serverless Framework</a> which is specialised for serverless services, or even <a href="https://www.ansible.com/integrations/cloud" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Ansible</a> which was created well before the rise of cloud vendors.</p>
