Pulumi -> Same end result as Terraform but you use Code (python, go, typescript) to describe resources instead of hcl

Crossplane -> Same end result as Terraform but you use K8s resources in YAML to describe your infra.

I hope that helps. But I agree that the crossplane/upbound marketing is super confusing.

Thanks for noting these. From my experience, neither can replace terraform (though Pulumi might be on the right track). Neither come anywhere close to the Terraform AWS provider, and tightly coupling my IaC to Kubernetes is a non-starter for me (and I'm sure for many others as well).
