Pulumi also has a newer iteration that uses provider APIs directly. A pain point has been that terraform provides tend to lag significantly with platform APIs, or just miss some functionality entirely.
Agreed in principle. In this instance they have basically rigged up a machine to poll and parse the GCP API Discovery service into a native provider. https://developers.google.com/discovery/v1/using
It’s promise is sustainably same-day parity with platform APIs. It is generated code, so it may not be semantically pleasing, but it should just work. I haven’t spent much time with it to form a nuanced opinion but I do think it’s a novel and reasonable approach.
Pulumi abstractions are updated by a single corpo team.
Ill be EXTREMELY surprised if they wont laaaggg alot more behind when they start supporting more and more platforms.
Its simply a matter of amount of ppl working on the tool.
