Pulumi

Pulumi lets you build, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure in the programming languages you already use, on any cloud. Developers and platform engineers write infrastructure in TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, Java, or YAML, with the same loops, functions, classes, package managers, IDEs, and test frameworks they use everywhere else. No domain-specific language to learn. Application and platform teams work from one codebase and one workflow, whether they're shipping to public, private, hybrid, or multiple clouds.
