Just want to ensure that your concerns are the same as the previous conversation - what's the specific blocker for you in this case? (We need to publish some security FAQ for sure!)

Basically, ensuring that any data doesn't leak to a third party. I think having the option to use Pulumi without interacting with the service or perhaps an internally hosted version of the service would be good

iirc, Terraform maintains state in a private S3 bucket. This has me thinking..what happens when/if the Pulumi service goes down? Does that impact the ability to use the framework?

We will always have a way to use Pulumi without the service in the picture.  It'll definitely mean loss of some key features that just using the service makes possible -- one thing we prefer over Terraform (things work in a team environment out of the box without needing to manually set up state/lock management) -- but we definitely understand some folks want more control.

<@U87DZN4MT> is working on a FAQ page as this has come up a few times now, and he will reply back with it with more details on how to get this going.
