11/21/2019, 3:10 PMCan Pulumi and Terraform both exist within a project? So that if someone still wants to work with Terraform and deploy to AWS, and I use Pulumi to deploy to the same AWS cluster? is that ok?

11/21/2019, 3:25 PMI haven’t a clue though why you’d want to use both tools.

11/21/2019, 3:29 PMIf you are talking about a k8s deployment being in a failed deployment state, of course, that’s always possible given your deployment may fail to actually start (pods crashing for example). Unless you mean something else.
