Hi - thinking about Pulumi for Kubernetes and multi-cloud (AWS, GCP and Azure ultimately) - wondering how complete the Python support is

for example, the @pulumi/eks package seems like it's TypeScript only

it’s complete. that is a higher order package but you can do pretty much everything you need to do in Python

That's correct. The

pulumi_aws

and

pulumi_kubernetes

libraries are equivalent across all the languages in terms of resource coverage.

@pulumi/eks

is Node-specific but it just builds on top of the corresponding

pulumi_aws

library for Node (

@pulumi/aws

ok, that's good to know - are there other higher-order packages like that?

considering that more DevOps people know Python than JavaScript, it would be great if Python had feature parity with JS/TypeScript

trying to figure out whether committing to TypeScript is worth it for these extra packages - probably not though

We would also highly appreciate more content (tutorials, documentation, best practices, …) for Python to get started quicker! Right now it’s definitely a bit discouraging. The strength of Pulumi should be, that one does not even think about switching languages, but we also briefly thought about switching to typescript. Please let us know, how we can help Pulumi accelerate good Python tutorial etc. coverage 🙂
