The AWS Native provider, now known as the AWS Cloud Control Provider, has been released in preview for Pulumi users, offering robust support for AWS services with same-day feature updates through the AWS Cloud Control API. This provider is designed to provide a comprehensive and consistent interface for cloud infrastructure as code, offering faster updates and extensive coverage compared to other platforms. It allows Pulumi users to leverage the full suite of AWS resources and third-party resources in the CloudFormation Registry, ensuring a reliable provisioning lifecycle across all Pulumi-supported languages such as TypeScript, Python, Go, and C#. Additionally, the release includes the cf2pulumi tool for converting existing CloudFormation templates to Pulumi programs, while maintaining interoperability without relying on deploying CloudFormation templates. The AWS Native provider is automatically updated nightly with new AWS features, ensuring users have immediate access to new capabilities, and it can be used alongside the classic Pulumi AWS provider to enhance existing and new use cases. The provider aims to expand resource coverage and integrations with AWS services, with general availability planned for the following year.
