Hi all I am using pukumi to spin up aws resources. What's the difference between the aws awsnative nuget packages?

AWS Classic ultimately uses the Terraform provider (via the terraform bridge).

AWS Native does not use Terraform providers, it's a "native" provider.  It also has a cool feature that uses AWS Cloud Control API to enumerate the resources it can deploy.

The MAJOR thing to keep in mind is that Native is more "beta" and has less resource coverage.  Overtime, Native will be better than Classic, but that depends on AWS to support more resources in Cloud Control API

Nit: No Pulumi provided _uses_ a Terraform provider (at run time). They just use the schema from the Terraform provider (at build time) to build an entirely new provider.
