General question though I know it applies to < CRFUR2DGB|gcp> What s the status of the GCP providers Activity seems to be down and the native repository hasn t seen any commits for a while Do certain providers in Pulumi see better support than others

all of our tier 1 providers azure gcp google cloud get the same level of support the gcp provider just hasn t had any api updates from gcp in a little while when they add new resources it ll get updated

< billowy army 68599> Cool it looks like it should be pretty hands off But I noticed that it s missing this

able-camera-57198 · Answer

Although maybe there s a reason that it s not available

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

< able camera 57198> i ll double check tomorrow but if it s not in the native provider yet it s usually because it s not been added to GCP s JSON API so we can t discover it

able-camera-57198 · Answer

Ahhhh That s kind of what I was wondering Okay so Googles JSON API may be incomplete at times then eh slightly smiling face

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

the API itself to create the resources exists but the JSON schema might not

Good to know though I have quite a fair bit of terraform built out which I d like to try converting over to pulumi

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

you can mix and match providers though so just use the `gcp` provider for anything missing

able-camera-57198 · Answer

I really love the idea of being able to manage the deployment code using C

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

that s bridged from the tf provider

able-camera-57198 · Answer

Hah interesting

able-camera-57198 · Answer

Are there any plans advice in mind for people to migrate resources from the gcp to the native provider in the future

able-camera-57198 · Answer

I m cool to start out with the gcp provider and hand bomb things over as they become available in native

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

you shouldn t need to migrate in all honesty if that you have works then you re good to go You can migrate using aliases for some things if the properties match but the gcp provider will continue to be supported so I d use the google native provider for anything supported and fall back to the gcp provider where needed

able-camera-57198 · Answer

I think I was reading about some inconsistencies between the providers for IDs though I figured it d be nice to land on one eventually over time

able-camera-57198 · Answer

Not in some huge rush but obviously it s nicer to be able to stick to one eventually

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

i might have missed it but I don t recall anything related to that

able-camera-57198 · Answer

able-camera-57198 · Answer

There s been a few issues opened about it

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

ah touche

able-camera-57198 · Answer

Would it seem realistic to replace definitions for resources in pulumi code from gcp gt google native as google native evolves delete the resource from state and then re adopt using the new definition

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

yes that d totally work

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

you could also deploy delete from state and use `pulumi import`

able-camera-57198 · Answer

Awesome That really gives me confidence to keep rollin with this conversion then

able-camera-57198 · Answer

At least I know I can match existing functionality leverage some of the other features of pulumi and get strong typing etc
