- tiew9Vii 6y agoDon't fall for that trap. I have never used Pulumi, I've used Terraform a bit. I like Terraform so this isn't a dig at the tools. Abstracting your cloud provider is similar to abstracting your database. At a high-level they appear to be the same, they do similar things however the are very different when you get to the fine detail. Pulmi / Terraform are useful in the provide a common language / API between cloud providers however you will never just switch cloud provider with changing a few lines of code.
