terraform-provider-aws VS Pulumi

⚠ There is currently an issue where the additional_configuration block order causes differences when applying the Terraform configuration without making any changes.

For Terraform, instead, a new version of the AWS module supports a dedicated resource.

If we check the support for the Terraform AWS Provider here (state for the date of publishing this article), we will see that the service is not yet fully supported. Last week, after more than half a year, support for creating a policy store was added. Additionally, we have the configuration to add template policies. However, the identity source is in the form of a PR draft, and there is no PR yet for the ability to create policies.

The size is what you get when you add every single AWS Go client into one binary.

Each service client like 1-2MB. But when you have 200 services....

Issue with EC2 Instance Metadata running inside Container

Well, at least we now have a promising lead. Some diligent googling and browsing through Github issues in the AWS provider project yielded no directly related findings. However, I did come across a few recent bug reports about the recent change AWS made regarding the treatment of public buckets. And interestingly, they described precisely the behavior I was encountering.

Latest version of TF but seems to be same Issue as this which has already been submitted : https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/issues/10611

Look at this; I think the provider is just screwed up: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/issues/28672

If you are following this blog series, you should already know the benefits of using Terraform to define and deploy your AWS resources and configuration. Other IaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Pulumi work the same way but differs in the programming or configuration language.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an important part of any true hosting operation in the public cloud. Each of these platforms has their own IaC solution, e.g. AWS CloudFormation. But they also support popular open-source IaC tools like Pulumi or Terraform. A category of tools that also needs to be discussed is API gateways and other app-specific load balancers. There are applications for internal consumption, which can be called microservices if you have a lot of them. And often microservices use advanced networking options such as a service mesh instead of just the native private network offered by a VPC.

funny, to me systemd == no docker, no containers, just a VM.

it's my goto way to keep my programming running and have it be restarted if the vm reboots. I use VMs like "pods". I deploy code directly to the VM and run it there along with other programs. I scale up an scale down with: https://www.pulumi.com/

Pulumi — Modern infrastructure as a code platform that allows you to use familiar programming languages and tools to build, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure.

A move like this may have an impact in other open source projects. Take Pulumi, for instance, people might avoid choosing it now that the Linux Foundation have its own IaC tool, and for newer, smaller projects it will probably be impossible to compete with a project under the Linux name.

Another alternative to writing an operator would be to rely on kustomize or https://www.pulumi.com/.

Pulumi

Would it make sense to say Dagger is to Pulumi [1], as Terraform is to Togomak?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define your infrastructure using code (IaC) to automate the provisioning of resources such as virtual machines, load balancers, and databases. Tools like Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation can help.
