The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with DevOps signals a new era in software development. DevOps possesses unique characteristics and needs that make it exceptionally compatible with AI augmentation. Given that code fundamentally relies on language, and large language models (LLMs) serve as the core of GPT functionality, these models are particularly well-suited for tasks such as code generation. This article unwraps the topics addressed during our “AI: Friends or Foe | AI Talks for DevOps” event in San Francisco.

This is the first of a three-part series originally published on The New Stack. Infrastructure as Code is a technology for automating the infrastructure for your cloud applications. If you’re an engineer, whether that’s developing a backend service or within a central platform team, it’s not just about writing application code. You’ll need to provision, update and perform other tasks associated with its supporting infrastructure, and that’s where Infrastructure as Code can help.

In a world where cloud computing is the backbone of modern applications, managing environments and secrets is of the utmost importance. Earlier this month we released a new service called Pulumi ESC (Environments, Secrets, and Configuration), the focus of which is to help alleviate the burden of managing cloud configuration and secrets by providing a centralized way to handle these critical aspects of cloud development. It’s like having a Swiss Army knife in your toolkit, ready to tackle the challenges of cloud infrastructure. This post will highlight the specific challenge of credentials management, and we’ll specifically dive into how using the esc run functionality of Pulumi ESC will make that easier.

Pulumi’s policy as code engine, CrossGuard, is already very flexible, and can enforce custom or predefined policies across a wide variety of use cases, including security, compliance, cost, and overall best practices. CrossGuard warns or issues errors should a deployment attempt to violate a policy. Last week we announced a new extension to CrossGuard called remediation policies. Remediation policies don’t just check for compliance, they go ahead and actually fix the problems in place. This ensures that every deployment across your entire team conforms, no questions asked, while also not needing to pester end users to remember all of the rules as they write their infrastructure as code, such as tagging resources a specific way. In this post, we will dig deeper into remediation policies and their use cases.
