"These features, currently in private beta with general availability expected in Q1 2026, address the persistent challenge of migrating legacy code by allowing engineering teams to run existing projects alongside new deployments. The move specifically targets organisations unsettled by IBM's acquisition of HashiCorp and related licensing changes, offering a unified platform that reduces the operational friction typically associated with switching infrastructure tools."
"As referenced in the announcement, Joe Duffy, founder and CEO of Pulumi, acknowledged the reality of mixed-tool environments in modern enterprise infrastructure. He noted that while many organisations prefer modern approaches, they often retain years of investment in legacy tools. 'We are not dogmatic about languages, we love all of them,' Duffy stated. 'The L in HCL and YAML stands for "language", and we've always had a "come one, come all" mindset.'"
Pulumi added native support for HashiCorp Terraform and OpenTofu, enabling the Pulumi engine to execute HCL and Pulumi Cloud to host Terraform state. The capabilities are in private beta with general availability expected in Q1 2026. The integration permits engineering teams to run legacy HCL projects alongside Pulumi deployments, simplifying migrations and reducing operational friction after IBM's acquisition of HashiCorp and licensing changes. Pulumi Cloud can act as a state backend and management plane for Terraform and OpenTofu, providing visibility, governance, and access to Pulumi's AI engineering agent Neo. The Pulumi CLI now treats HCL as a first-class language.
