HN discussion(Pulumi providers dev here) This has been the case in the past but we are investing in our provider ecosystem. We built several first-party native providers that aren't based on TF: Kubernetes, Azure, Google. Now, we also encourage third-parties to build their integrations. Here is a boilerplate repo of a resource-based provider: https://github.com/mikhailshilkov/pulumi-provider-boilerplat... Here is a provider that…

HN discussionMaybe I’m missing something, but I don’t think this is true? E.g., https://www.pulumi.com/blog/dynamic-providers/ There’s also an example of their blog on doing a schema migration with custom logic.

HN discussionYou may be interested in Pulumi: https://www.pulumi.com/ Basically it's Terraform but instead of declaring your resources in HCL, you declare them in a real programming language. You're still producing a declarative config that the engine then diffs, applies etc. In fact, it's compatible with existing terraform providers, so it has a surprisingly large selection of things you can use it for. Note their docs will try…

HN discussionI think the future is that all configuration is code. Code in a proper functional/imperative language (preferably the one you wrote the app code in), rather than a special declarative language. The attraction of toml is minimalistic and simple definitions initially - but there is always too much logic for these languages. If not immediately, then eventually. "Real" programming languages have good compilers, good err…

HN discussionIt's about functionality and maintainability, not performance. If you have complicated scripts then they start to resemble actual programs, at which point you might be better off using a real programming language to code. I wouldn't pick Rust for this but there are lots of examples of using Node/JS, or C# or Python. It's a much nicer environment and benefits from full IDE support. For a good example, look at what Pu…

HN discussion> In my company's current AWS infrastructure, there's no shell access to either the production containers or the host machines. I did write a script to create an ephemeral container that lets me (and future staff) run a shell inside the production network. I'm a fan of this approach, it is hard improve upon the security of a server that doesn't exist. I recently setup an AWS serverless (mainly ECS Fargate) stack for…
