Introducing Customizable Resource Auto-naming in Pulumi

Introducing Customizable Resource Auto-naming in Pulumi

I’m thrilled to announce that you can now customize how Pulumi names your cloud resources! Our default auto-naming feature has helped thousands of customers successfully manage cloud resources at scale by automatically ensuring unique, conflict-free resource names across their cloud deployments. This robust naming system has been particularly valuable for teams managing multiple environments, handling zero-downtime deployments, and maintaining clear resource organization. Today, we’re taking it to the next level by giving you control over how these names are generated.

New CLI prompt to use Update Plans

New CLI prompt to use Update Plans

Earlier this year we announced the experimental introduction of Update Plans as we heard from many of you that you need a strong guarantee about exactly which changes an update will make to your infrastructure, especially in critical and production environments. We have been making steady progress on this feature and are excited to further integrate it into your workflows. In the latest release of the Pulumi CLI (v3.48.0), there’s a new prompt to use experimental Update Plans when running an update.

Infrastructure as Code with Java and Pulumi

Infrastructure as Code with Java and Pulumi

Infrastructure has become a core part of application development as modern cloud capabilities such as microservices, containers, serverless, and data stores define your application’s architecture. The term “infrastructure” covers all of the cloud resources your application needs to run. Modern architectures require thinking deeply about infrastructure while building your application, instead of treating it as an afterthought. Pulumi’s approach helps developers, infrastructure engineers, and platform teams work together to leverage everything the modern cloud has to offer.

Exploring how to solve circular dependencies

Exploring how to solve circular dependencies

As part of our hackathon near the end of last year, we decided to explore solutions to a common problem when people are using Pulumi for their systems. A question that’s been asked in a few different forms is how to resolve circular dependencies between resources in a Pulumi program.

A simple example of this idea is a modern web application with a static front-end and an API, where the front-end needs to know the URL of the API to be able to call it and the API needs to know the source domain of the front-end to allow it access via CORS. As these two resources rely on one another to be created, they are circular dependencies.

Deploy Azure Container Apps with Docker and Pulumi

Deploy Azure Container Apps with Docker and Pulumi

Today, Microsoft announced a new general-purpose serverless container platform: Azure Container Apps. Container Apps is a fully managed platform for microservice applications that runs on top of Kubernetes and open-source technologies like KEDA, Envoy, and Dapr.

Container Apps are designed to abstract infrastructure management with flexible serverless containers. Developers can run containers at scale without the burden of standing up and managing a Kubernetes cluster manually.

We are happy to announce same-day support for Azure Container Apps in the Pulumi Azure Native Provider, which covers 100% of the Azure Resource Manager APIs and gives you highest fidelity integration with Azure’s resources.
