  • HashiCorp Adopts Business Source License

    Sure, but the providers for some of the biggest platforms are maintained by HashiCorp[1] - like the AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes providers[2], and it appears the Pulumi AWS provider (for example) _does_ use the Terraform AWS provider, even to this day[3].

    1. https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/registry/providers... - "official" providers are maintained by HashiCorp

    2. https://registry.terraform.io/browse/providers?tier=official - The filtered list of "official" providers maintained by HashiCorp

    3. https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/tree/008c4360bc9fc24303... - Just prove it to myself, I can see the `upstream` git submodule, which embeds pulumi/terraform-provider-aws, which is a fork of hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws, although the repo was not created as a fork in Github, so it is not marked as a "fork" and so I have to compare commit histories to tell that it is a fork.

  • Converting Full Terraform Programs to Pulumi

    >Isn't pulumi aws just terraform under the hood still?

    It depends.

    The AWS "Classic" provider uses the terraform provider [1].

    The AWS "Native" provider does not, and instead uses the AWS Cloud Control API [2].

  • For IaC: Pulumi or Terraform?
    4 projects | /r/devops | 24 Feb 2021
    Pulumi uses terraform providers to schematize the CRUD options for some cloud providers. Part of the difficulty with any infrastructure as code offering is that your favourite cloud provider doesn't always provide a full API spec, so we need to somehow figure out what resources can be created, what parameters are available to those resources etc. We take the terraform provider, look at the available operations for that provider and then turned it into a Pulumi schema, which can then be read by the Pulumi engine. If you take a look here you can actually see that generated schema for AWS.
