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. (Here’s a link to the Pulumi installation instructions.) You’ll also need an AWS account.

A few months ago we launched Organization Access Tokens for the Pulumi Service and saw overwhelmingly fast adoption from our customer base. Based on this customer demand, and existing customer feedback, we prioritized improvements in the scoping of access tokens. Today, we are launching Team Access Tokens, which allow Organization and Team Admins to create access tokens scoped to a Pulumi Team. Pulumi Service customers on the Enterprise and Business Critical editions can use Pulumi Teams to set role-based access controls (RBAC) for stacks by enabling Organization administrators to assign a set of stack permissions to a group of users.

We are excited to announce that starting today Pulumi customers can create a Billing Manager role for their organization on the Pulumi Service. We have heard from our customers that having a Billing Manager would solve internal process challenges and are aiming to solve these pain points with the new Billing Manager role.

I love data. I mean, I really love data. Data gives you the ability to understand the world around you and, to a certain degree, project what the future could look like. At Pulumi we use data every day to help make smarter product and business decisions.

Though one hurdle we encountered was not only the sheer volume of data we have but also the large disparity of systems storing that data. Like many companies before us, we chose to build a data warehouse, specifically AWS Redshift, to store all of our data.

Pulumi makes it easy to flexibly deploy your cloud infrastructure using code. Usually deployments encompass a single slack and a single region in your cloud of choice. If you need to go multi-region, that usually means creating a stack per-region, which Pulumi’s configuration system makes easy. A stack per region isn’t required, though! Sometimes we want a single stack to span regions for performance, scalability, resilience, or just hard requirements. In these cases, Pulumi can seamlessly orchestrate deployments to, or even across, multiple regions, accounts, or clusters. In this article, we’ll see this in action by provisioning an AWS RDS primary database into one region and a read replica in an entirely different region – all from a single Pulumi program, stack, and pulumi up incantation.

Kubernetes resources often have more than one controller making changes to them. These controllers can include kubectl, the Kubernetes control plane, custom operators, or infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like Pulumi. With the v3.20.1 release of the Kubernetes provider, you have some powerful new options for managing shared resources in Kubernetes. In this post, we show you how Pulumi can help you work with shared resources safely and effectively.

In this blog post, we will talk about how Pulumi is now using .NET 6, the latest Long-Term Support version of .NET, as our default across the ecosystem. We will discuss the changes applied to templates, program structure and code generation. We also explain how Pulumi C# projects can benefit from the latest features in .NET 6 and how it simplifies your programs overall. Let’s dive in, shall we?

Event-driven, serverless functions have become a defining feature of many modern cloud architectures. With recent capabilities such as AWS Lambda URLs and AWS Lambda Containers, AWS has made it clear that Lambda Functions are a platform that teams can use to deliver increasingly sophisticated services without worrying about managing underlying compute resources.

Today, AWS announced another advancement for their Lambda Functions platform: Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC). At its core, ABAC support brings more granular permissions that are automatically applied based on IAM role tags, Lambda tags, or both. This update builds on well-established Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) principles while making it possible to implement granular controls without permissions updates for every new user and resource.

When I started using Pulumi for the first time, I used C# as my language of choice for defining infrastructure. I start by creating resources and providing their parameters through argument objects. The IDE helps me out with auto-completions and type errors as I go but the compiler didn’t always detect some of the errors I eventually came across.

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.
