Pulumi

Pulumi lets you declare infrastructure in TypeScript, Python, Go, or C# instead of a DSL. This course covers stacks and state, Inputs/Outputs, config secrets, component resources, CrossGuard, and running pulumi up from CI. A real language does not make the cloud account safe, and the state backend still holds resource IDs and sometimes secrets.
