Since the launch of Pulumi Environments, Secrets and Configuration (ESC), our developer-first configuration and secrets management platform, we’ve seen exponential growth in usage. Customers have used it to simplify their secrets and configuration management by organizing them into composable collections called ’environments’. Today, we are thrilled to introduce a comprehensive suite of versioning features, giving you unprecedented control and confidence in managing your environments.

With Pulumi ESC, our goal is to not only create a tool that simplifies the development process but also one that developers love. In pursuit of this goal, we’re excited to announce enhancements to the Pulumi ESC environment editor. These enhancements are focused on addressing common challenges encountered when authoring environments: syntax errors, type errors, frequent context switches to and from documentation, and more. Our aim is to make the process of authoring environments as straightforward as possible by removing common hurdles.

Today we’re excited to announce Review Stacks – dedicated cloud environments that get created automatically every time a pull request is opened, all powered by Pulumi Deployments. Open a pull request, and Pulumi Deployments will stand up a stack with your changes and the Pulumi GitHub App will add a PR comment with the outputs from your deployment. Merge the PR and Pulumi Deployments will destroy the stack and free up the associated resources. It has never been simpler to pick up an unfamiliar codebase, make changes to both application and infrastructure code, and share a live environment for review with your teammates.

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.

After launching Pulumi Deployments a few months ago and receiving a ton of community feedback (thank you!) today we are launching an integration with OpenID Connect (OIDC) to enable temporary credentials and granular access controls. We would like to thank GitHub user eriklz for creating the original request for this functionality.

Here at Pulumi, we love programming the cloud using infrastructure as code. From the project’s outset, we’ve been inspired by technologies like Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, and Helm, and in fact leverage the Terraform Providers ecosystem, to support a broad range of clouds, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Just recently, we extended this with first class support for Kubernetes. Pulumi delivers the same infrastructure as code workflows only using general purpose languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Go, extending robust infrastructure provisioning with abstraction and reuse, highly productive tooling, and access to all the other things we already know and love about programming languages.

In this article, we will convert existing Terraform configuration to Pulumi TypeScript. By doing so, we’ll see how using general purpose programming languages can help you create simpler, more flexible infrastructure as code, with greater productivity and less repetition. The infrastructure we’ll be working with describes a load-balanced web server hosted by an AWS EC2 instance per availability zone with an option to allow SSH access. Of course, these same benefits would also accrue were we to target Azure, Google Cloud, or Kubernetes instead.
