Pulumi ESC Table Editor Now Supports Dynamic Credential and Secret Integrations

We are pleased to announce a major update to the Pulumi ESC’s Table Editor: full support for provider configurations is now live! When we first introduced the ESC Key-Value Table Editor, our goal was to offer a user-friendly interface for managing complex configuration and secrets for your applications and infrastructure. This has empowered teams to focus on what they do best—building and deploying software.

In our initial launch, the Table Editor allowed you to perform CRUD operations on your secrets and plaintext values, decrypt secrets, import environments, and manage variables—all within a visual interface. Today, we’re taking the next step by enabling full read-write support for provider configurations within the Table Editor. This new capability allows you to add, edit, and manage your provider configurations directly from the table view, offering a more integrated and seamless experience.

Improved Kubernetes Await Logic

Improved Kubernetes Await Logic

Kubernetes’ eventual consistency model is incredibly powerful but can also pose a challenge for workflows that provision complex applications and infrastructure. Sometimes you really just need to know that a step has succeeded before being able to proceed.

One of the advantages of using Pulumi to manage Kubernetes resources is that it natively and intuitively handles this problem of readiness and dependencies, giving you an easy way to express complex rollout relationships in the programming language of your choice.

The latest v4.18.0 release of the Pulumi Kubernetes provider includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements to the way Pulumi Kubernetes handles resource readiness:

  • More helpful errors are surfaced when a resource doesn’t become ready in time.
  • A new pulumi.com/deletionPropagationPolicy annotation enables faster deletions.
  • A new pulumi.com/waitFor annotation allows for custom readiness criteria.
  • And a new experimental feature enables readiness criteria for all resources.
