Addition of parent / child resources to Pulumi vs Terraform comparison

Open anuraaga opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

File: themes/default/content/docs/intro/vs/terraform.md

Hello - I have a suggestion for the docs for comparing Pulumi vs Terraform. From what I can tell, one big difference is that Pulumi has the concept of parents for resources, using the parent: option when creating a resource. As Terraform doesn't have this, it would be nice to introduce this in the comparison section to make understanding Pulumi easier for Terraform users. I guess declaring resources with a parent corresponds to Terraform's more distinct separation of a module into its own source code, making the "parent" of the resources the module?

This dates back to well before I joined Pulumi, but as far as I can tell it has not been addressed.
