Announcing dependency caching for Pulumi Deployments

Announcing dependency caching for Pulumi Deployments

We’re excited to announce dependency caching for Pulumi Deployments! This new feature is designed to significantly speed up deployment times by reducing dependency installation time by up to 80%, ensuring faster and more efficient workflows for every Pulumi user.

When using Pulumi Deployments, installing dependencies can be a time-consuming part of a deployment. With dependency caching, Pulumi can reuse previously installed dependencies, allowing your deployments to skip redundant installation steps and focus on the task at hand. This optimization is especially helpful for frequent deployments, reducing both time and compute resources.

Pulumi Announces Drift Detection and Remediation: Continuously Monitor Your Infrastructure Changes

Pulumi Announces Drift Detection and Remediation: Continuously Monitor Your Infrastructure Changes

At Pulumi, we recognize the challenges platform teams face in maintaining the stability and compliance of their cloud infrastructures. One of the primary challenges is configuration drift, where the actual state of the infrastructure deviates from its intended state. This deviation can occur for various reasons, including manual adjustments made directly in the cloud provider’s console, unintended consequences of scripts, or unauthorized changes. Such drift can lead to significant problems including security vulnerabilities that open up potential breaches, compliance violations that can result in penalties, operational disruptions that affect user experience and business operations, and increased costs from unnecessary resource spend.

Announcing Microsoft Teams Webhook Integration for Pulumi Cloud

Announcing Microsoft Teams Webhook Integration for Pulumi Cloud

Getting your Pulumi notifications into Microsoft Teams is now easier than ever. Organizations using Pulumi Cloud have previously been setting up Microsoft Teams notifications for their stacks using Pulumi Cloud Webhooks. Webhooks can attach to a Pulumi organization or a Pulumi stack. Starting today, customers can set up a Microsoft Teams integration, for organization or stack notifications, with fewer steps and without needing to host the infrastructure themselves.

Dependent Stack Updates with Pulumi Deployments

Dependent Stack Updates with Pulumi Deployments

As infrastructure projects grow in size and complexity, you need to decompose infrastructure into smaller stacks to limit the blast radius of errors, extract and reference common layers like networking, and limit access to sensitive components. This comes with a coordination cost as you now need to figure out how to detect and propagate changes to downstream stacks in your dependency graph. Today we’re announcing two features that can help you manage this complexity by automatically updating dependent stacks:

Pulumi Deployments: API-Driven Infrastructure at Scale

Pulumi Deployments: API-Driven Infrastructure at Scale

Delivering software has been conventionally driven by CI/CD workflows. A single commit is merged into a codebase, and a small, and static set of workflow runs are triggered by the CI system to update the appropriate environments (Dev -> Staging -> Production). This may have been fine when the only product a company had to offer was a single stateless web service, but increasingly companies are called upon to deliver cloud infrastructure as a product.
