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.

We have a global community made up of people from many different countries, but we also have many local communities. We want to enable our users to meet, share knowledge and ideas, answer questions, and learn about Pulumi and best practices. For that reason, we created the Pulumi User Groups, aka PUGs on Meetup. Members of PUGs will have access to a global network of experts who can offer help, advice, and support on using Pulumi effectively.

Today is International Women’s Day, and this year the theme is #EmbraceEquity - which means creating an equitable environment. An equitable work environment means understanding that everyone, regardless of gender, religion, ethnicity, background, or resources, brings strength to the workforce and that opportunities should be given to them based on their individual needs. For Pulumi, it means a work environment where everyone can share ideas and respect them even when disagreeing.

Denis Willett is a software engineer at the North Carolina Institute of Climate Studies who works on the NOAA Open Data Dissemination Program. His work focuses on leveraging cloud technologies for the development of data processing and machine learning pipelines. Denis did his PhD in Entomology and Nematology at University of Florida and his undergraduate and masters work in Earth Systems at Stanford University. You can read his full bio here.

NOAA Open Data Dissemination (NODD) makes environmental data freely and publicly accessible across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure (Azure), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). These data include near real-time satellite imagery, weather models, radar feeds, drought information, ocean databases, and a suite of climate data records among many others. This program supports more than 220 datasets and over 24PB of open data. Since its inception, the program has been growing rapidly, almost doubling in size over the past year.

Creating a place for the Pulumi community to gather, ask questions, get help in real-time, and share successes has been an important part of the explosive growth we’ve seen in both users and customers. The Pulumi community slack has grown to over 7000 members and well over 200,000 messages.

Within those 200,000 messages are years of information kept behind a “walled garden” that is undiscoverable outside Slack’s search capabilities.

Today we’re announcing that our community slack is now publicly available via https://archive.pulumi.com thanks to Linen
