Solution

Implement a provider. More details here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/troubleshooting/faq/#supported-clouds-and-languages

Alternatives/workarounds

Use the terraform provider.

-1 because most pulumi providers are just wrapped Terraform providers, i.e. the AWS provider which is arguably the most used provider on terraform (and therefore I would assume pulumi). Therefore I vote against this and in favor of more support for the Terraform provider, but I suppose wrapping that to satisfy this pulumi provider is low-effort

See pulumi-tf-provider-boilerplate and pulumi-terraform-bridge

Thanks for your feedback @kevcube !

I opened a ticket for similar reasons: https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-issues/issues/1572

Instead I want to use a kubernetes operator. I suggested using a project which can generate Kubernetes Operators based on Terraform Providers/Modules. Check it: https://github.com/crossplane/terrajet/blob/main/README.md

We are both asking for FusionAuth to integrate with two different tools using Terraform Providers in the background.

Sounds like a Terraform Provider would be a good place to start.

I've created one here that uses the Terraform one from gpsinsight as a bridge:

I would also be happy to hand it over to the FusionAuth org so it can be an official release.

It's now part of the pulumi registry

@mooreds This issue can be closed now I think.

Thanks so much @theogravity !

I'm going to leave this open because it feels like we should support this officially, but this is a great pointer to anyone who wants to use the community version. Will update the docs and change the title of this issue.
