As much as I want to love pulumi, their ssh story seems missing. It feels like pulumi is dedicated towards managing cloud instances through cloud apis, while I'd want to manage bare metal instances through ssh (or a local daemon). I'd love correction on this.

no, you're right. Terraform/Pulumi are much more focused on provisioning resources, while Ansible has its sweet spot in configuring a machine once its running.
