For someone who's starting to use Pulumi to provision a platform on Azure, would you recommend using the next-gen provider or the terraform one?

You'll get more up to date resources with nextgen

At the moment technically it's in preview (although many customers use it for their production deployments)

But if you want the latest services from azure when they're made available, use nextgen

Cool thanks. I found it a bit hard to get to the next-gen documentation. Am I right to think it's not difficult to migrate already existing Pulumi using terraform provider to next-gen?

<@U01L3LJJRLY> It's difficult to provider a direct migration as some of the resources don't actually exist in the Terrafom based provider... some work may happen in this are but I am not 100% sure

Fair enough, my stack is still very small anyway so I think I might be just in time

My only concern is that next-gen doesn't seem to have as much documentation/examples

The API reference docs are here - <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-nextgen/>

Each of the resources should have examples for all languages
