The reasons that self-hosted infrastructure is less prevalent in tools such as Pulumi (and Terraform) are many - not least demand - but one reason is that vendors make it INCREDIBLY difficult to test thanks to proprietary license costs.
I brought up an ESXi provider for Terraform in 2015, and VMWare were not even remotely interested in giving us the ability to test it via a license grant, and I was obviously not about to pay VMWare to test integration for a product I don't even use. In the end I never released or upstreamed it, preferring to work on targets whose vendors were more co-operative.
why not? There's a REST API and I don't think Amazon devs actively developed modules for terraform or pulumi, but the way around...so the pulumi devs seem to have no interest in Proxmox support.
- where's the option to deploy to self hosted infrastructure? (E.g. Proxmox, vCenter, ESX)
- what's the "Pulumi service" and why can I self host it, but cannot deploy services to self hosted Infrastructure?
