Reflections of a Pulumi Intern

Friday, Sep 18, 2020

Hi everyone! I’m Albert, a soon-to-be sophomore studying computer science at the University of Washington. Today marks my last day as a Pulumi intern, so I figure I’d reflect on my experiences up until this point. Joining Pulumi I heard of Pulumi for the first time when they visited my school’s career fair in January. As I rounded the corner into the CSE1 atrium, I saw a banner titled “Modern Infrastructure as Code,” with some lines of TypeScript of what appeared to be the creation of an S3 bucket.

Introducing crd2pulumi: Typed CustomResources for Kubernetes
