>How can a team justify not being on AWS?
You can do the exact same thing with Pulumi and it's cross platform.
Also, in my experience, CDK is an absolute nightmare if you like running things locally and testing on your own machine
- logicslave 6y agoYeah but this is native to AWS, completely different than third party software
- xkeysc0re 6y agoSo? Cloudformation is "native" to AWS and it's absolutely awful to use compared to Terraform.
- logicslave 6y agoThe open source that can develop around CDK is completely different than something Terraform or Pulumi
- xkeysc0re 6y agoPulumi and Terraform are both open source and have substantial features that aren't even in CDK (As noted in a comment above).
- dillon 6y agoDitto. To add to this, Pulumi has a few features not yet present in CDK like encrypted state, and dynamic resources. The TLS/Random provider also seems to be missing from CDK but present in Pulumi. I am using all of these features in some Pulumi projects and couldn't imagine using CDK, ever. tl;dr Use your preferred tooling, but don't assume a team couldn't justify using their tools of preference.
