Engineers spend a lot of their valuable time searching documentation for answers. At Pulumi, we believe in exceptional documentation experiences that help people using Pulumi find what they need quickly and use it successfully. Today, we are announcing a set of improved Pulumi documentation experiences that collectively make it easier than ever to discover, learn and build cloud infrastructure with Pulumi.
Deploying a static website often involves provisioning a number of pieces of infrastructure and stitching those pieces together in a way to make the site accessible to your users. A static website typically consists of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files along with any other static assets the site might need to render such as PNG and SVG files for example. These files are then uploaded to a storage bucket where they can be served from.
In this blog post, we’re going to use some Angular framework components to assemble a static website and then use Pulumi and its AWS Static Website component to deploy it to AWS. The website is for a café called the Pulumi Café. It will contain two pages, one an About page and the other a Menu page, as well as some navigational pieces. To follow this example, you need to have both Angular and Pulumi installed.
The AWS Static Website component makes it easy to deploy an AWS S3 static website and, optionally, add a CloudFront content distribution network (CDN). While you can use any of the programming languages Pulumi supports (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, .NET, Java, and YAML), the component is particularly useful if you use YAML or JSON. With the AWS Static Website component, you’ll have a complete, functioning site in a few minutes. Without it, you can spend hours or even days to get the same result.
We are excited to announce the release of Audit Logs on Pulumi for Enterprise organizations. Audit logs enable you to track the activity of users within an organization. They attempt to answer what a user did, when they did it and where. They help answer these questions by recording user actions. Pulumi’s audit logs allow you to account for the activity your users are taking within your organization. These logs are available to organizations with an Enterprise level subscription.
