Starting today, users can create Stack READMEs in the Pulumi Service that dynamically update based on Stack Outputs.

Each Pulumi Stack you deploy manages a key set of cloud infrastructure for your organization. The Pulumi Console includes a variety of features for exposing key information about your stack for other users within your organization - configuration, outputs, resources under management, links to cloud providers, and a graph of all resources. However, it’s often useful to allow the author of a Pulumi Stack to describe in their own words the key elements of a stack, so future viewers can quickly understand the components and cloud resources that are managed.

One of the advantages of having a large and vocal community like we have, is the quantity and quality of product feedback we receive. This was highlighted by a GitHub issue submitted by a community member for a Pulumi Service Provider:

It’s a bit funny that a service that is all about configuration as code can’t be configured with code.

The rest of the community agreed too, as this is one of our top customer product requests. Luckily Piers Karsenbarg, one of the Solutions Engineers at Pulumi, saw this and decided to build a Pulumi Provider for the Pulumi Service during a recent company hackathon. Once we saw the demo we knew we had to get in the hands of our customers! Over the last couple months, we’ve added a number of additional features, and polished some of the APIs for managing the Pulumi Service via Pulumi Infrastructure as Code. As a result, starting today, Pulumi’s users can manage all of their cloud infrastructure using Pulumi, including managing the state of the Pulumi Service itself!
