By this point in 2025, we’ve all heard about “vibe coding”: the AI-fueled craze that enables even my 2 year old nephew to build new applications by simply giving into the vibes, embracing exponentials, and forgetting that the code even exists. Vibe coding enables anybody who can type on a keyboard or speak to a computer to build IPO-worthy software businesses overnight. Today we are excited to introduce vibe coding’s similarly revolutionary close cousin: “vibe clouding”. By giving into the vibes, you can now spin up cloud infrastructure anywhere and everywhere, all by just saying stuff, copy and pasting stuff, and vibing. And even better, it mostly works! Read on to learn more, or just watch the video below.

At our fourth annual PulumiUP conference, we unveiled a new vision for Pulumi, going beyond infrastructure as code to a comprehensive product suite. Pulumi’s platform now consists of three core products: Pulumi IaC is open source infrastructure as code in any programming language; Pulumi ESC is centralized secrets management that scales; and Pulumi Insights delivers instant visibility, intelligence, and control over all of your infrastructure. Each product can be adopted independently but is better together. In this post, we will share more about how Pulumi is your trusted partner to automate, secure, and manage everything you run in the cloud.

Today we announced a new wave of Infrastructure Lifecycle Management capabilities in Pulumi Cloud. These build upon and extend our rich Pulumi Deployments foundation for deployment orchestration and workflow. This is an exciting, customer-driven release, with new features that help with Day 2 operations and management.

These new features are:

• Drift Detection and Remediation - Continuously detect and remediate drift
• Time-to-Live Stacks - Clean up stale infrastructure automatically
• Scheduled Deployments - Automate recurring workflows on a schedule
• Free Deployments Minutes - Use all of the above for free, no matter your tier!

We built these features based on customer feedback, and our 2,500+ customers are excited:

At AWS re:Invent 2023, AWS announced the new Amazon S3 Express One Zone storage class. This new service provides incredible performance by collocating your S3 buckets closer to the workloads that use the data. Compared to the S3 Standard storage class, the Express One Zone storage class is up to 10x faster, handles 100,000s of requests per second, offers single-digit millisecond latency, and can reduce request costs by 50%. This can be extremely beneficial for data-intensive workloads such as AI/ML, media, finance, realtime, and high-performance computing scenarios. This blog post shows how to get started with Amazon S3 Express One Zone using Pulumi infrastructure as code.

This is the third of a three-part series originally published on The New Stack. Read Part 1 and Part 2.

Engineers who modernize their Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi get two classes of benefits:

1. Infrastructure as Code to develop cloud infrastructure with code.
2. Pulumi Cloud, which tames cloud infrastructure management at scale.

We’ve covered a fair bit of the first above, but have yet to scratch the surface for the second.

Many Infrastructure as Code solutions require that you explicitly manage something typically referred to as “state.” This state is an artifact produced that keeps track of what you think your infrastructure looks like, as defined by your Infrastructure as Code, so that it can be easily compared to what your actual infrastructure looks like. This is how diffs and updates can be done. Every Infrastructure as Code tool stores this infrastructure state, which is really just metadata about all the cloud resources, properties and dependencies. However, how much the tool exposes you to it varies.

This is the second of a three-part series originally published on The New Stack.

Following the first piece in this series, Infrastructure as Code in Any Programming Language, this walkthrough will show what it takes to get up and running with Infrastructure as Code. Everything we show will be done with Pulumi’s free and open source Infrastructure as Code SDK. You can also sign up for Pulumi Cloud. After discussing the basics of how to get going, we’ll then dive into some advanced use cases to show what you can do from there.

Infrastructure as Code is a technology for automating the infrastructure for your cloud applications. If you’re an engineer, whether that’s developing a backend service or within a central platform team, it’s not just about writing application code. You’ll need to provision, update and perform other tasks associated with its supporting infrastructure, and that’s where Infrastructure as Code can help. Instead of manually pointing-and-clicking in the cloud console, which is unrepeatable and error-prone, or writing ad-hoc scripts, which can be tedious and hard to scale, Infrastructure as Code lets us, as engineers, use familiar techniques by just writing code.

Pulumi’s policy as code engine, CrossGuard, is already very flexible, and can enforce custom or predefined policies across a wide variety of use cases, including security, compliance, cost, and overall best practices. CrossGuard warns or issues errors should a deployment attempt to violate a policy. Last week we announced a new extension to CrossGuard called remediation policies. Remediation policies don’t just check for compliance, they go ahead and actually fix the problems in place. This ensures that every deployment across your entire team conforms, no questions asked, while also not needing to pester end users to remember all of the rules as they write their infrastructure as code, such as tagging resources a specific way. In this post, we will dig deeper into remediation policies and their use cases.

Today we announced a $41M Series C fundraise from Madrona Ventures, NEA, Tola Capital, and Strike Capital. These new funds will help us accelerate momentum, keep innovating with the best infrastructure as code technology on the market, and expand into new product areas to solve even more of our customers’ most pressing cloud challenges. We’ve had a year of exciting milestones – surpassing 150,000 end users in our community, 2,000 customers, and 100 employees – and look forward to many more to come. The future is full of cloud, and yet incredibly bright!
