Provisioning everything
Infrastructure as code across AWS and every vendor.
My stack for this
- 01Pulumi
Real code, S3 backend, and any Terraform provider.
Don't
- AWS CloudFormation
Never. YAML templates that only reach AWS. Pulumi does the same job in real code and provisions every other vendor too.
Instead: Pulumi
The picks, in brief
What each one is, my verdict, and what it costs. Every name opens the full entry: when to use it and when not, the gotchas with their fixes, provisioning and alternatives.
Infrastructure as real code. And it can use any Terraform provider, so nearly everything is provisionable from one codebase.
Pricing: Free and open source with a self-managed S3 backend (no Pulumi Cloud fees).
