Problem Statement
Explain the benefits and challenges of using Pulumi for Infrastructure as Code.
Explanation
Pulumi allows engineers to define infrastructure using real programming languages like TypeScript or Python.
Benefits include strong integration with existing development workflows, use of familiar programming constructs, and enhanced testability. However, challenges include a steeper learning curve for operations teams and less simplicity compared to purely declarative tools like Terraform. Pulumi is well-suited for DevOps teams with strong software engineering backgrounds.
