Since we first launched Pulumi 4 years ago, a core point of differentiation between Pulumi and other Infrastructure as Code offerings has been the ability to use popular general purpose programming languages - and their rich software engineering ecosystems - in order to scale up the complexity and richness of cloud infrastructure workloads. This approach has enabled cloud builders to adopt and embrace modern Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi using a wide variety of languages, including TypeScript, Python, Go, C# and Java.

Our goal though has always been to offer the broadest range of programming language options to empower every cloud builder so that they could benefit from the best of Pulumi’s Infrastructure as Code platform.

Today, we are excited to launch Pulumi YAML, a simple YAML-based interface to the entirety of the Pulumi Infrastructure as Code platform.

Crosswalk for AWS is a collection of libraries that make it easy to work with AWS using Pulumi Infrastructure as Code. The Crosswalk for AWS libraries are some of the most widely used higher-level components in the Pulumi ecosystem, with hundreds of organizations building their infrastructure on the simple abstractions over key AWS services like ECS, API Gateway, VPC, Load Balancing, CloudTrail, EC2, ECR, and more.

One of our key goals with Pulumi’s Universal Infrastructure as Code platform is to offer access to the widest range of cloud infrastructure building blocks for use within your cloud engineering projects. Over the years, that has led us to support interoperating seamlessly with a variety of alternative infrastructure definition formats, like Helm, CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager and Kubernetes YAML. Today we’re really excited to add support for AWS CDK constructs to the list!

One of the advantages of having a large and vocal community like we have, is the quantity and quality of product feedback we receive. This was highlighted by a GitHub issue submitted by a community member for a Pulumi Service Provider:

It’s a bit funny that a service that is all about configuration as code can’t be configured with code.

The rest of the community agreed too, as this is one of our top customer product requests. Luckily Piers Karsenbarg, one of the Solutions Engineers at Pulumi, saw this and decided to build a Pulumi Provider for the Pulumi Service during a recent company hackathon. Once we saw the demo we knew we had to get in the hands of our customers! Over the last couple months, we’ve added a number of additional features, and polished some of the APIs for managing the Pulumi Service via Pulumi Infrastructure as Code. As a result, starting today, Pulumi’s users can manage all of their cloud infrastructure using Pulumi, including managing the state of the Pulumi Service itself!

Our mission with Pulumi was to make it 100x easier to program the cloud. We saw amazing new architectures and capabilities made possible by the modern cloud, and new and exciting software and business outcomes fueled by adopting them. And yet, back in 2017 when we began, we found the models for programming, composing, and building modern cloud software sorely lacking. “Infrastructure as code” is widely accepted as the table stakes solution, yet most people were copy-and-pasting config scripts in bash, encoding architecture in thousands of lines of YAML, and the best in class technologies used proprietary domain-specific languages that lacked great IDEs and true sharing and reuse, and were simply reinventing the wheel.

Unbelievably, we just celebrated Pulumi’s 5th birthday. To commemorate, we are publishing multi-part series on all things infrastructure as code, starting with why we’re so excited about it:

• All Roads Lead Back to Infrastructure as Code
• Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
• Infrastructure as Code Internals
• Bringing Applications and Infrastructure Closer Together
• Ringing in the Cloud Engineering Era
• (Bonus) The Future of Infrastructure as Code

We published the first post today, and the others will soon follow in the weeks to come. The above hyperlinks will light up as they go live. We have had so much fun creating Pulumi and sharing it with you, and are just as excited about what’s in store during the next five years too!

Pulumi is more than a way to build, deploy, and manage your infrastructure and cloud applications. Pulumi is also a strong and vibrant community. We are very excited to announce and showcase our new program of community champions, the Puluminaries!

At Pulumi, we’re incredibly fortunate to have over 70 integration partners in our ecosystem – helping shared end-users to build, deploy and manage practically any cloud service they can imagine. Our most popular content often includes workshops that show end-users how to use these powerful integrations. This year for PulumiUP, we’re excited to announce that we’ve teamed up with a number of partners to deliver a workshop track that provides hands-on labs and demonstrations for a variety of platforms and scenarios.

Creating a place for the Pulumi community to gather, ask questions, get help in real-time, and share successes has been an important part of the explosive growth we’ve seen in both users and customers. The Pulumi community slack has grown to over 7000 members and well over 200,000 messages.

Within those 200,000 messages are years of information kept behind a “walled garden” that is undiscoverable outside Slack’s search capabilities.

Today we’re announcing that our community slack is now publicly available via https://archive.pulumi.com thanks to Linen

As enterprise adoption of the Pulumi Service has grown 350% over the last year, we’ve seen a strong customer demand for tools to manage automated Pulumi use cases such as CI/CD and Automation API at scale. Today we are launching Organization Access Tokens to empower our largest customers to manage automated workloads in a secure and collaborative manner.
