Announcing Pulumi Azure Provider 2.0

Announcing Pulumi Azure Provider 2.0

This blog post is outdated and no longer accurate. Go to our Azure Classic package page for up to date details.

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.

Modern Cloud Infrastructure in Go - The Road to 2.0

Modern Cloud Infrastructure in Go - The Road to 2.0

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. What is Pulumi? Go has become the lingua franca of cloud-native infrastructure development.

Manage Any Infrastructure with Policy as Code

Manage Any Infrastructure with Policy as Code

In an earlier article, we introduced examples of Policy as Code to prevent two of the most common causes of data breaches. Policies are the guardrails of infrastructure. They control access, set limits, and manage how infrastructure operates. In many systems, policies are created by clicking on a GUI, making it difficult to replicate or version. Pulumi implements policy by writing it in Typescript, which ensures that you can write policies using software development practices such as automated testing, deployment, and version control.

Inside Crosswalk for Kubernetes

Inside Crosswalk for Kubernetes

Running Kubernetes in production can be challenging. This past year, Pulumi has collected common patterns of usage informed by best practices for provisioning Kubernetes infrastructure and running containerized applications. We call this Pulumi Crosswalk for Kubernetes: a collection of playbooks and libraries to help you to successfully configure, deploy, and manage Kubernetes in a way that works for teams in production. Kubernetes is Vast and Complex Kubernetes is the standard multi-cloud platform for modern containerized applications.

Azure Functions on Kubernetes with KEDA

Azure Functions on Kubernetes with KEDA

Azure Functions is a managed service for serverless applications in the Azure cloud. More broadly, Azure Functions is a runtime with multiple hosting possibilities. KEDA (Kubernetes-based Event-Driven Autoscaling) is an emerging option to host this runtime in Kubernetes.

In the first part of this post, I compare KEDA with cloud-based scaling and outline the required components. In the second part, I define infrastructure as code to deploy a sample KEDA application to an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster.

The result is a fully working example and a high-level idea of how it works. Kubernetes expertise is not required!

Ten Pearls With Azure Functions in Pulumi

Ten Pearls With Azure Functions in Pulumi

In this post, we’ll take a look at 10 “pearls”—bite-sized code snippets—that demonstrate using Pulumi to build serverless applications with Azure Functions and infrastructure as code. These pearls are organized into four categories, each demonstrating a unique scenario:

  • Function App Deployment: Deploy an existing Azure Functions application using infrastructure as code.
  • HTTP Functions as Callbacks: Mix JavaScript or TypeScript functions with your infrastructure definition to produce strongly-typed, self-contained, serverless HTTP endpoints.
  • Cloud Event Handling: Leverage a variety of event sources available to Azure Functions with lightweight event handlers.
  • Data Flows with Function Bindings: Take advantage of function bindings—declarative connectors to Azure services.

Multicloud Kubernetes: Running Apps Across EKS, AKS, and GKE

Multicloud Kubernetes: Running Apps Across EKS, AKS, and GKE

Kubernetes clusters from the managed platforms of AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and GCP Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) all vary in configuration, management, and resource properties. This variance creates unnecessary complexity in cluster provisioning and application deployments, as well as for CI/CD and testing.

Additionally, if you wanted to deploy the same app across multiple clusters for specific use cases or test scenarios across providers, subtleties such as LoadBalancer outputs and cluster connection settings can be a nuisance to manage.

In this post, we’ll see how to use Pulumi to deploy the kuard app across EKS, AKS, GKE and a local Kubernetes cluster, such as Docker Desktop or a self-managed cluster. We’ll spin up the clusters in each provider, launch the app, and manage both cluster and app using the TypeScript programming language.

7 Ways to Deal with Application Secrets in Azure

7 Ways to Deal with Application Secrets in Azure

Every non-trivial application relies on configuration values that may depend on the current execution environment. Some of these values contain sensitive information that shouldn’t be shared publicly. In general, the fewer parties that have access to those secret values, the safer the application will be—in fact, in an ideal world, no one would be granted direct access to those secrets.
