Hi @great-library-25724 no you don’t need to be an expert at all - the Python skills required have a low barrier to entry You would be able to take out getting-started experience for a test drive to help you test it out https://www.pulumi.com/docs/

i hope in future, they might add bash shell scripting support or kind of declarative method

Please feel free to open an issue describing your use case and why you think something more declarative would be useful

any video course or kind of tutorial to learn from beginning - specially for python
does pulumi supports all modules/services for aws as it supported in terraform ? as our code hevily in terraform

I’m not sure what you mean by supporting all modules but Pulumi-aws maps 1-2-1 to terraform-provider-aws
You can find a lot of getting started on Pulumi.tv (our YouTube channel)
