We’re pleased to announce that unit testing with Node.js, Python, .NET, and Go is supported in recent releases. You can test resources before deploying your infrastructure using familiar tools and test frameworks. Check your resource configuration and responses without the wait of deploying them and speed up infrastructure development and production deployments.
Abstraction is key to building resilient systems because it encapsulates behavior and decouples code, letting each component perform its function independently. The same principles apply to infrastructure, where we want to declare behavior or state and not implementation details. As an industry, we’ve moved away from monolithic applications to distributed systems such as serverless, microservices, Kubernetes, and virtual machine deployments. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the characteristics of these architectures and how Pulumi can abstract the components that comprise these systems.
Together, we’re facing an unprecedented situation with the COVID-19 pandemic. In this note, I’d like to tell you about the steps we’ve taken to ensure the health of our employees, community, and to ensure business continuity throughout.
We are happy to announce the release of a new major version of the Pulumi Azure provider. Pulumi Azure 2.0 is based on the 2.0 release of the upstream provider and brings several improvements and breaking changes.
Continuous delivery requires providing highly sensitive credentials to your deployment pipeline. Understanding the risks, mitigations, and best practices for handling those credentials can be difficult. In this guide, we describe the best practices for providing AWS credentials to a CI/CD system and to securely automate updating your cloud infrastructure using Pulumi.
2020 is off to a big start for us! The .NET and Go SDKs are now more idiomatic and easier to use, Policy as Code is ready for prime-time, and many other useful features and foundational improvements have been released. I’d like to take a moment to highlight these improvements and ask for feedback — we want to make sure these new features work great for you!
Guest Article: Itamar Syn-Hershko, Founder and CTO of BigData Boutique shows how they use Pulumi to benchmark Elasticsearch configurations across cloud providers. Pulumi enables BigData Boutique to test deployments in parallel and gather metrics to produce performant and cost-effective solutions for its customers.
Stop writing Kubernetes YAML by hand, and start using the power of familiar programming languages! Pulumi can generate Kubernetes manifests that easily integrate into existing CI/CD workflows.
We’ve been hard at work making it easier to manage stacks, permissions, and organizations in the Pulumi Service. Adding new features like first-class support for stack tags, deep links into CI/CD providers, and downloadable checkpoint files.
In this post, we showcase what’s new!
Here at Pulumi, everyone on our engineering team is a Gopher. Go has quickly become the “language of the cloud,” and so when we chose to build our open-source pulumi/pulumi engine and SaaS backend, we chose Go. As such, we are very excited to welcome Go to the family of supported infrastructure as code languages as part of Pulumi 2.0.
Go has become the lingua franca of cloud-native infrastructure development. From projects like Docker, to Kubernetes, the community has embraced Go. The result is an ecosystem rich in tooling and packages designed for systems and cloud engineering.
