Pulumi Cloud Now Supports Google Sign-In

Many developers and platform engineers already use Google accounts daily for email, cloud console access, and collaboration. Until now, signing in to Pulumi Cloud required a GitHub, GitLab, or Atlassian account, or an email/password combination. Today, we’re adding Google as a first-class identity provider, so you can sign in to Pulumi Cloud with the same Google account you already use for everything else.

Adding Google as an identity provider brings several benefits:

  • Use the account you already have. If your team already lives in Google Workspace, you can sign in to Pulumi Cloud with a single click, no new credentials required.
  • Inherit your existing security policies. If you’ve already configured two-factor authentication, device management, and other protections in a Google Workspace, you can carry them over to Pulumi Cloud automatically.

How it works

Signing up or signing in

On the Pulumi Cloud sign-in page, you’ll see a new Sign in with Google button alongside the existing GitHub, GitLab, and Atlassian options. If you are a new user, select it, authenticate with your Google account, and you’re in.

If you already have an existing Pulumi Cloud account, make sure to associate to your existing account as described in the next section.

Connecting Google to an existing account

If you already have a Pulumi Cloud account, you can link your Google identity from your account settings:

  1. Navigate to your Account Settings.
  2. Scroll to the Identity providers section.
  3. Under Available identities, select Connect Google.

Once connected, you can use Google to sign in to your existing Pulumi Cloud account.

Google sign-in vs. SAML SSO

Google sign-in lets you authenticate with Pulumi Cloud using your individual Google account. It does not enable Google as a single sign-on (SSO) identity provider for your Pulumi Cloud organization.

If your team uses Google Workspace and needs centralized membership governance for Pulumi Cloud, configure SAML SSO with Google Workspace instead. SAML SSO is available on Pulumi Enterprise and Business Critical editions.

Get started

Google sign-in is available now for all new and existing Pulumi Cloud users:
