Ever since the private preview of Terraform Stacks, I’ve been eager to dive in and explore this new approach to provisioning infrastructure. After a year in private preview, the public beta was finally announced at HashiConf 2024, and I’m excited to share my experience!
In this blog post, we’ll delve into the process of creating a Pulumi Resource provider sourced from a Terraform Provider developed with the Terraform Plugin Framework. Our focus will be on leveraging the bridge package to facilitate this transition seamlessly. To illustrate, we’ll demonstrate bridging the InfluxDB Terraform provider to Pulumi.
Terraform is a powerful infrastructure as code tool that automates cloud infrastructure provisioning and management through simple configuration files. If you’re interested in learning more, I’ve written a short blog outlining some key components of Terraform.
In this blog I will explain what is Terraform and some of its common terms. I will also list some good to follow standards when you start using Terraform.
