CDK for Terraform (CDKTF) has been deprecated, leaving users to find alternatives. This article outlines options for migration, focusing on Pulumi as a viable path forward, detailing the conversion and import process for transitioning projects.

AWS now allows you to validate and enforce required tags in CloudFormation, Terraform, and Pulumi using Tag Policies. By defining mandatory tags like "Environment," "Owner," and "Application," you can ensure consistent tagging across your infrastructure-as-code projects. This feature helps maintain compliance and governance for your AWS resources.

This article examines three Infrastructure as Code tools—Terraform, Pulumi, and Crossplane—highlighting their unique approaches to managing cloud infrastructure. It details how each tool fits into modern practices and discusses their strengths, weaknesses, and operational differences.

Pulumi has introduced direct support for executing Terraform modules, enabling users to migrate from Terraform to Pulumi without the need for immediate conversion. This feature allows teams to preserve existing Terraform modules while leveraging Pulumi's advanced infrastructure as code capabilities, facilitating a smoother, incremental migration process.
