Is there any work on developing a "bare-metal" mode for Pulumi? I'm very much in favor of using a real programming language to set up systems, but I don't like to use cloud services beyond hosting. It would be nice if Pulumi provided, as a library, code to launch and maintain self-hosted databases, proxies, etc, rather than just clients for cloud APIs. Something that could be used as an alternative to Ansible.
Or are there any alternatives to Pulumi that support such a "bare-metal" mode?
