Any reason the aws-native package has so little resources compared to classic? is not same day availability the main pro over using classic?.

Hi @flaky-arm-38472, The AWS Native provider is in a public preview state and the recommendation is to use side-by-side AWS Native and AWS Classic as described in the “Note” However, I’m using AWS Native as much as possible and most of my code is using Native than Classic.

I am also using native for initial resources but very often find a resource not available and have to import classic and native in the same package. you got any info of the updated status of this package?. I wonder why Azure/GCP got their native package quicker than aws, taking a wild guess it seem is on how AWS i exposing their resources.

Hi @flaky-arm-38472, To be honest with you, I guess that is a common difference between providers that don’t need to be developed together. We can have a stable Azure Native provider and an AWS Native provider in a different state. You can check in public Pulumi Roadmap the progress of each component, provider, etc.: https://github.com/orgs/pulumi/projects/44/views/4. Another source that I use frequently is the Release comparison to understand if a specific issue was gone: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws-native/compare/v0.19.0...master. If we can have a proper release note, it will be better than this method, which is a bit complex, but it is what we have right now. In my personal TODO, I want to contribute to improving that area. About the code, I can’t see the issue in using AWS Native and AWS Classic together because I’m using it, I guess most engineers are in the same boat. Standardising the IaC using only one will be better but is acceptable to have this transition.

@mammoth-electrician-64525 yeah I agree. But will the classic be deprecated at some point?. I will take a look at the progress you mentioned.

@flaky-arm-38472 I’m not sure what’s Pulumi long-term plans but based on the history of the Pulumi community they listen to us all the time and if it will be deprecated we will be informed in a reasonable time to prepare our code/workloads.

@flaky-arm-38472 The AWS Native package depends on AWS Cloud Control API, which is a relatively new API from AWS. What is supported really depends on AWS in the end.
