With 62% of large organizations already using multi-cloud (Cloud Computing News), business leaders are looking for their next competitive advantage. Finding these next-gen business edges can be a real challenge, but some innovative organizations are discovering that time to market can be a big competitive lever. They are accelerating their development cycles by up to 70% and seizing opportunities to build new markets, establish new brands and capture market share. This Time To Market (TTM) advantage can apply to entire markets as well as any aspect of your product or service connected to the cloud.

Integrating various infrastructure data sources into your data warehouse has long been a challenge for Platform Teams. Whether it’s dealing with multiple API endpoints, managing complex authentication processes, or just trying to get a consistent, reliable data feed, the process can be daunting and time-consuming. Especially when you factor in the various cloud providers, and the inconsistency in data formats across them all.

These pain points can slow down your ability to get actionable insights from your infrastructure data, leaving you with more questions than answers.

The tap-pulumi-cloud connector, announced today, is designed to address these challenges head-on by offering a simple solution for automating the process of accessing infrastructure data.

One of our core goals at Pulumi is to provide access to manage any cloud infrastructure with a single unified programming model. Whether it’s multi-cloud (AWS+Azure+Kubernetes), hybrid cloud (GCP+VMWare+Cisco), or managed services (Databricks+GitHub+Cloudflare), Pulumi makes it easy to deploy and manage infrastructure across all of your cloud environments using any of the 150+ cloud providers in the Pulumi Registry.

We’re excited to take this even further by introducing support for using any Terraform or OpenTofu provider from within your Pulumi programs. If there is a long tail Cloud or SaaS platform that has a provider for those ecosystems, it now works with Pulumi as well. And if your organization has built your own custom Terraform or OpenTofu provider to support an internal cloud platform, you can use it from Pulumi as well, without having to publish it to any registry.

We’re excited to introduce a new centralized Policy Violations destination in Pulumi Cloud to simplify policy management and compliance. This powerful addition provides a comprehensive view of all policy violations across your organization, helping you maintain visibility and control over your infrastructure.

Pulumi’s Policy as Code (PaC) feature, CrossGuard, allows you to define and enforce policies for your infrastructure using familiar programming languages. By integrating these policies directly into your infrastructure code, you can automate compliance checks, gate deployments to ensure security best practices, and maintain governance across all your providers.

We are excited to announce the availability of Kubernetes-native support for Pulumi Deployments Customer-Managed Agents, further enhancing the flexibility and control over your infrastructure deployments. This new feature allows you to self-host deployment agents within your Kubernetes environment, bringing the same power and flexibility of Pulumi-hosted deployments to isolated environments.

Customer Managed Agents: Flexibility and Control

Customer Managed Agents, announced earlier this year, allow you to self-host deployment agents, delivering the power and flexibility of Pulumi Deployments within your own infrastructure. Here’s how you can benefit:

Infrastructure management is all fun and games until you find yourself scrolling through 1000+ resources in your AWS console. Worse, when one rogue product team wants to use Azure and your data team wants to be on GCP, you’re ARM wrestling in Azure and watching your economies of scale tip the wrong direction as you’re copy-pasting CloudFormation templates into yet another git repo. This. Needs. To. Be. A. Platform!

In today’s complex digital landscape, organizations are increasingly turning to platform engineering to optimise their software delivery processes and maximize efficiency. The growing complexity of modern applications, coupled with the need for rapid, secure, and scalable deployments, has created a pressing demand for robust Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs).

IDPs are a key component of modern platform engineering strategies. An IDP is a self-service layer that sits on top of an organization’s infrastructure, abstracting away complexity and providing developers with the tools and environments they need to build, test, and deploy applications efficiently.

The cloud promised to revolutionize your business.

Faster innovation. Lower costs. Unlimited scalability.

But for many companies, that promise remains frustratingly out of reach. Instead of accelerating product development, infrastructure has become a bottleneck. You and your team (DevOps, platform, or infrastructure engineering teams) are bogged down by:

• Clunky tools and manual processes
• Provisioning a simple test environment takes days
• Rolling out updates across regions takes weeks
• The combinations of modern cloud architectures seems infinite

You know there has to be a better way. A way to truly harness the power of the cloud and turn it into your competitive advantage.
