Pulumi and CDK for Terraform: programming infrastructure in high-level languages

Nowadays Terraform is leading among IaC solutions where its own configuration language HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) is widely used.

Although this language is pretty simple, it has its own specifics, different types of variables and approach to cycles which is not always evident. Thus, DevOps and developers have to spend time on figuring out its subtleties and opportunities.

In their talk the speakers would like to present other way of working with IaC, using different programming languages with Pulumi and cdktf as the example. So, the developers and DevOps may use familiar tools and IDE while working with infrastructure.
