 An analogy to other software you may be familiar with is that, just like Git is fully open source and you can host, secure, and manage repositories yourself, so too can you with hosting your Pulumi infrastructure as code projects and stacks. It is much easier, especially in a team, however, to use Git in conjunction with GitHub, as it features easy security, reliability, and collaboration, as well as powerful features like Pull Requests. A similar dynamic exists with Pulumi and Pulumi Cloud.
