We’re thrilled to unveil two new features that will empower you to organize your collection of Pulumi ESC Environments: Projects and Environment Tags. Projects offer a structured way to group related environments and Environment Tags allow you to add contextual information to each environment. Together, they offer a powerful way for you to manage, navigate, and collaborate on your secrets and configurations.
PulumiUP 2024 is just around the corner! It will be held on September 18th, starting at 8 AM PT | 15:00 UTC +0, and with over 5,500 engineers from all over the world already registered, this is shaping up to be the must-attend event for cloud professionals, platform engineers, and AI/ML enthusiasts alike. From entry-level engineers to tech executives, this event brings together professionals from companies of all sizes to explore the latest innovations and best practices in Cloud and IaC, Platform Engineering & DevOps, and AI/ML.
If you haven’t registered yet, now’s the time! Start building your schedule today, select the talks you want to watch live and on-demand and add them to your schedule.
We are pleased to announce a major update to the Pulumi ESC’s Table Editor: full support for provider configurations is now live! When we first introduced the ESC Table view, our goal was to offer a user-friendly interface for managing complex configuration and secrets for your applications and infrastructure. This has empowered teams to focus on what they do best—building and deploying software.
In our initial launch, the Table Editor allowed you to perform CRUD operations on your secrets and plaintext values, decrypt secrets, import environments, and manage variables—all within a visual interface. Today, we’re taking the next step by enabling full read-write support for provider configurations within the Table Editor. This new capability allows you to add, edit, and manage your provider configurations directly from the table view, offering a more integrated and seamless experience.
Kubernetes’ eventual consistency model is incredibly powerful but can also pose a challenge for workflows that provision complex applications and infrastructure. Sometimes you really just need to know that a step has succeeded before being able to proceed.
One of the advantages of using Pulumi to manage Kubernetes resources is that it natively and intuitively handles this problem of readiness and dependencies, giving you an easy way to express complex rollout relationships in the programming language of your choice.
The latest v4.18.0 release of the Pulumi Kubernetes provider includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements to the way Pulumi Kubernetes handles resource readiness:
pulumi.com/deletionPropagationPolicy annotation enables faster deletions.pulumi.com/waitFor annotation allows for custom readiness criteria.
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, 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!
