We are excited to announce a new feature for Pulumi Copilot: System Prompts. This enhancement empowers organizations to customize Pulumi Copilot’s responses for your organization, making your interactions with our AI assistant even more personalized to save you even more time.
At the heart of Pulumi’s approach to cloud infrastructure and secrets management is a belief in empowering engineers to use the best software engineering tools to manage complexity at scale and to be maximally productive building cloud infrastructure and applications for their businesses.
Today, we’re excited to announce a next big step in delivering great software engineering tools for Pulumi users, with the launch of a new Pulumi Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Extension. The Pulumi VS Code Extension brings Pulumi key features for Pulumi IaC and Pulumi ESC directly into the IDE environment that many Pulumi users work in every day. Pulumi IaC users can now debug their applications and get Pulumi YAML language support directly in VS Code. And Pulumi ESC users can now create and manage environments, secrets and configuration directly within the IDE with rich IDE features.
We’re excited to introduce a new centralized Policy Violations destination in Pulumi Cloud to simplify policy management and compliance. This powerful addition provides a comprehensive view of all policy violations across your organization, helping you maintain visibility and control over your infrastructure.
Pulumi’s Policy as Code (PaC) feature, CrossGuard, allows you to define and enforce policies for your infrastructure using familiar programming languages. By integrating these policies directly into your infrastructure code, you can automate compliance checks, gate deployments to ensure security best practices, and maintain governance across all your providers.
We are excited to announce the availability of Kubernetes-native support for Pulumi Deployments Customer-Managed Agents, further enhancing the flexibility and control over your infrastructure deployments. This new feature allows you to self-host deployment agents within your Kubernetes environment, bringing the same power and flexibility of Pulumi-hosted deployments to isolated environments.
Customer Managed Agents, announced earlier this year, allow you to self-host deployment agents, delivering the power and flexibility of Pulumi Deployments within your own infrastructure. Here’s how you can benefit:
We are excited to introduce two powerful new features for our Self-Hosted Pulumi Cloud offering: Resource Search and Pulumi Deployments. These two additions are the most significant features added to Pulumi Cloud in the last year and we are thrilled to bring them to our self-hosted customers. Resource Search and Pulumi Deployments both improve the way you can manage and deploy your cloud infrastructure, providing greater visibility, control, and automation.
We are excited to introduce a new feature that our users have been eagerly awaiting: Short-Lived Access Tokens! This enhancement allows you to set an optional expiry date on Personal Access Token, Team Access Token, and Organization Access Token, making them automatically invalid after a specified date. This feature is now available in the Pulumi Cloud console and the Pulumi Cloud REST API, providing enhanced security and control over your access tokens.
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.
In the dynamic landscape of cloud-based software development, platform teams face the continuous challenge of balancing the need for innovation with the imperative to control cloud costs and security. Pulumi Cloud’s new Time-to-Live (TTL) Stacks feature directly addresses this challenge by empowering teams to manage infrastructure lifecycles automatically, mitigating the risks associated with stale infrastructure and resource costs ballooning.
Creating temporary environments for development, testing, or staging is a common practice in the lifecycle of software development. These environments are crucial for running experiments, testing new features, and ensuring that everything works smoothly before going live. However, these environments often don’t get decommissioned properly and linger, forgotten, consuming resources and adding unnecessary costs to your cloud bill.
We are excited to announce Scheduled Deployments for Pulumi Cloud. This new feature, which builds upon the robust foundation of Pulumi Deployments, is designed to streamline cloud management by automating the deployment and deactivation of resources according to customizable schedules. Two new Pulumi features also announced today, Drift Detection and Remediation and Time-to-Live Stacks, are built on top of the new Scheduled Deployments functionality. These three new features are available today on the Enterprise and Business Critical editions of Pulumi Cloud.
At Pulumi, we are committed to empowering developers and infrastructure teams with the tools they need to efficiently manage cloud resources at scale. As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance user experience and ease of use, we are excited to share some significant updates to Pulumi Deployments pricing, making it easier for all customers to experiment with and adopt the easiest way to go from code to cloud.
Starting today, all paid Pulumi Cloud organizations get 3,000 minutes per month of Pulumi Deployments included with their Pulumi Cloud subscription.
