Infra at Scale: Agents, Tools and Infra-as-Code (opens on the source site)
In a previous post, How We Run Terraform At Scale, we shared how Benchling moved from a painful, laptop-driven, apply-then-merge workflow to an automated infrastructure release system built on Terraform Cloud (TFC). That migration dramatically reduced conflicts and drift, saved an estimated 8,000 developer hours annually, and gave us the foundation to scale from 350 to 625 workspaces managing many thousands of cloud resources across 38 AWS accounts. We also walked through the ecosystem of custom tooling we built around TFC to make it work at our scale: a CLI for bulk review and approval,…
Building Self-Service into Terraform: Introducing Terraform Developer Portal (Public Preview) (opens on the source site)
Terraform has long helped platform teams standardize how infrastructure is provisioned and managed. As Terraform adoption grows across an organization, the next challenge is making that infrastructure easier for developers to consume. Developers shouldn't need to understand every Terraform module, workspace, or organizational standard before they can get the infrastructure they need. At the same time, platform teams need to maintain control over what gets provisioned and how. We're investing in making self-service a native part of the Terraform experience. That means giving developers a…
Terraform advances infrastructure lifecycle management for the agentic era (opens on the source site)
AI agents are becoming active participants in infrastructure delivery and operations, fundamentally increasing the speed and scale at which infrastructure work can happen. This shift requires organizations to rethink how infrastructure is managed across its lifecycle and what it takes to operate safely in an agentic world. As AI agents take on more infrastructure work, task-level automation is no longer enough. They need a trusted foundation and governed workflows that allow humans and agents to safely take action. At HashiConf at TechXchange, we’re introducing Terraform capabilities to help…
Bring cloud cost insights to Terraform with IBM Cloudability (opens on the source site)
Cost estimates and FinOps policies often sit outside the Terraform workflow, making cost optimization a slow and complicated process. For example, teams must switch between a Terraform plan and separate financial or policy results, then match those findings back to the planned resources. Without a single view of the proposed infrastructure and its cost implications, teams may discover a concern only after completing their initial review. Addressing it means revisiting the configuration and reviewing the change again. We are excited to introduce a new integration between HCP Terraform and IBM…
Updates on our pledge to make Cloudflare features accessible to everyone (opens on the source site)
A year after pledging to eliminate two-tier product access, Cloudflare has expanded Logpush, multi-account governance, and higher platform limits to all accounts. Here is an update on our progress, how we dogfood these tools internally, and what is coming next.
Terraform 1.16 completes Actions lifecycles and brings imports into child modules (opens on the source site)
Managing infrastructure rarely ends when a resource is created. Teams may need to take a final backup, deregister an asset, or clean up an external system before infrastructure disappears. And when adopting existing infrastructure into Terraform, reusable modules have not been able to carry their own import logic: the root module had to own it. HashiCorp Terraform 1.16 addresses both gaps. Terraform Actions can now run before and after resource destruction, and declarative `import` blocks can now live inside child modules. Together, these improvements keep more operational and adoption intent…
Simplify compliance with the native pre-written policy experience in HCP Terraform (opens on the source site)
Teams can now browse HashiCorp-managed pre-written policies, add them to a policy set, and apply common compliance guardrails directly in HCP Terraform.

Compatibility Testing Pulumi HCL (opens on the source site)
Pulumi ·
Pulumi HCL has at its core a simple promise: A program that works for tofu apply will also work for pulumi up. This must be true to allow Terraform modules to be shared between tofu config and Pulumi programs. This property makes testing Pulumi HCL simple. Let me explain. At the end of the day, Pulumi is a system to translate actual state & desired state into a series of imperative actions, so actual state can be reconciled to desired state. Terraform is a system to translate actual state & desired state into a series of imperative actions, so actual state can be reconciled to desired state.…
Terraform and Kubernetes: A Practical Guide for 2026 (opens on the source site)
Pulumi ·
Yes, Terraform can manage Kubernetes: the official hashicorp/kubernetes provider lets you declare Deployments, Services, and other objects as HCL resources, and community providers like kubectl fill in the gaps. It works well for many teams. The friction shows up around two well-documented limits — provider ordering and plan-time API access — and around testing, where a general-purpose language changes what’s possible. That friction matters more in 2026 than it did a few years ago. Kubernetes infrastructure now sits next to AI-driven engineering workflows: agents that propose changes, run…

Bring Your Terraform Estate Into the Agentic Era (opens on the source site)
Pulumi ·
At Pulumi, we are building the platform for agentic infrastructure. Pulumi Cloud provides the guardrails and enterprise readiness needed to safely move fast in this new era. While we are seeing extraordinary adoption — over 40% of our users now manage infrastructure using AI agents — we know many organizations are at different phases in their AI journey and have to balance building for the future with maintaining their existing infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions like Terraform. Today, we are launching three ways that Pulumi lets you avoid trading off building for the future against…
A guided tour of Terraform state, hosted modules, and HCL in Pulumi (opens on the source site)
Pulumi ·
Today’s big release contains a whole new set of features designed for seamless interoperability with the Terraform and OpenTofu ecosystems, and there’s a lot there — so much that it can be tough to get your head around all of it. But it generally falls into three major categories: Support for Pulumi Cloud as a Terraform state backend, including remote execution with human approvals A Terraform module registry in Pulumi Cloud that lets you publish, document, and share your modules even across language boundaries First-class support for HCL as an authoring language in the Pulumi engine To make…
Emulating Terraform on Pulumi's Engine (opens on the source site)
Pulumi ·
The core promise of Pulumi’s HCL support is that you can bring your existing Terraform configuration and modules, and pulumi will run them. If it works in OpenTofu and doesn’t work in Pulumi, we would like to fix that. Given that goal, our HCL interpreter needs to take HCL as input and emit instructions to the Pulumi engine that semantically match how tofu would interpret the same input. This is made harder by the fact that Pulumi and OpenTofu have fundamentally different engine semantics and provider ecosystems. This blog post will explore how we have implemented that mapping well enough to…

Securing Infrastructure at Scale: Introducing Pinterest’s Resource Provisioner Pipeline (RPP) (opens on the source site)
Ammar Ekbote | Senior Software EngineerChan Kim | Senior Software EngineerManaging Infrastructure as Code (IaC) across a massive organization comes with a unique set of security and logistical challenges, particularly when operating within a distributed, multi-repository architecture. At Pinterest, we designed the Resource Provisioner Pipeline (RPP), our specialized, proprietary Terraform execution engine to safely manage both critical and non-critical infrastructure changes.In this post, we will look under the hood of the first iteration of the RPP system. We will explore how it established…
Best Terraform Alternatives in 2026 (opens on the source site)
Pulumi ·
The strongest Terraform alternatives in 2026 split into three groups: general-purpose-language platforms like Pulumi and AWS CDK, HCL-compatible forks like OpenTofu, and cloud- or platform-specific tools like AWS CloudFormation, Azure Bicep, and Crossplane. (Pulumi also supports HCL directly and can serve as a Terraform-compatible state backend, so teams don’t have to choose between staying in HCL and gaining Pulumi Cloud’s platform capabilities.) Which one fits depends less on syntax preference than on how well it lets your team, and increasingly your AI coding agents, read, test, and safely…
