Pulumi makes developing and deploying rich serverless and container-based applications a breeze. But how do you monitor and observe those applications while they are being developed and once they are deployed? There are many great answers: from the built-in capabilities of the underlying cloud services (Lambda, ECS, Kubernetes, and more), to great 3rd party solutions like IOpipe and Epsagon which we highlighted recently on this blog.

The Pulumi CLI provides another way to do logging, without requiring the additional setup of these existing solutions and seamlessly integrated into your Pulumi development workflow. The pulumi logs command provides a great first place to start for understanding your Pulumi application’s behavior. Especially during development, this command provides direct insight into the behavior of your application, bringing together logs across all of the different forms of compute you are using - from code running in serverless functions to containers to VMs.

Let’s take a quick look at pulumi logs and some of the ways it can be used as part of the inner loop of your Pulumi development.

We have been hard at work the past few months providing our users with more ways to connect to Pulumi. Here are some our past announcements related to identities:

• Support for Atlassian identity
• Connecting multiple identities to an existing Pulumi account
• Support for GitLab identity

Today, we are pleased to announce that we are launching support for email-based identities. You no longer need to use a social identity to sign-up for an account on Pulumi. Just fill out the signup form, and you are ready to go.

Pulumi allows cloud developers to use programming languages like JavaScript, TypeScript and Python to define and deploy cloud infrastructure and applications. To do this, Pulumi exposes a notion of Outputs that track how the outputs of one cloud resource are used and transformed as part of creating another cloud resource.

These Output types are heavily used in many Pulumi application. They are the way that Resources expose their values and are commonly used to pass values from one Resource to another. Outputs are also a key part of how Pulumi tracks dependencies between resources. In fact, Outputs are similar to promises/futures that you may be familiar with from other programming models but also carry along dependency information.

The Pulumi ecosystem is continuously growing and today we’re excited to announce the F5 BIG-IP provider for Pulumi.

F5’s BIG-IP Local Traffic Managment (LTM) services provides advanced traffic management, acceleration, security, and analytics features to your applications. With the addition of our F5 BIG-IP Pulumi provider we are bringing Cloud Native Infrastructure as Code to F5 BIG-IP devices with familiar programming languages and a consistent programming model. This addresses a frequent use-case we’ve heard from our customers for both on-premises and Cloud workloads.

Let’s look at some examples to demonstrate what’s capable with this provider and the power and flexibility that Pulumi brings to working with your F5 BIG-IP systems.

Today we added support for yet another developer favorite product, Atlassian Bitbucket. You can now sign-up for a Pulumi account with an Atlassian identity. This also means you can connect your Atlassian identity with an existing Pulumi account.

This work follows on from the support for GitLab identity and also the ability to connect identities, eliminating the need for users to create multiple accounts on Pulumi.

This helps users with repos across the major version control systems to seamlessly import their GitHub Organizations and GitLab Groups - and now Atlassian Bitbucket Teams - into a single Pulumi account. Of course, you don’t need to connect identities. You can always create separate account for each of your identities, if that’s what you want to do.

Today we are delighted to announce the availability of Webhooks on Pulumi. Webhooks are a very common mechanism to enable teams to be notified or react to events. In Pulumi’s case, this means: notifications of infrastructure changes (be it on Kubernetes, AWS, or any other cloud); responding to those changes as part of ‘ChatOps’; or other build pipelines, to improve the delivery of cloud native infrastructure.

Pulumi Webhooks are available for the Team and Enterprise editions of Pulumi. If you’re keen to try them out, start a trial of Team Edition here.

Today we announced our partnership with GitHub on the new GitHub Actions feature. We are super excited about this bold and innovative technology, especially as it relates to Pulumi, and CI/CD more broadly. We truly believe that Pulumi plus GitHub Actions delivers the easiest, most capable, and friction-free way to achieve continuous delivery of cloud applications and infrastructure, no matter your cloud – AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, or even on-premises. In this post, we’ll dig deeper to see why, and how to get up and running. It’s refreshingly easy!

When you’re able to build an app for any cloud using familiar languages, the obvious question is “Where to start?”. We hear you, and so we’ve built some new features to help you scaffold your app and program the cloud even faster than before.

In this post, we’ll look at how to use pulumi new and our selection of templates to build your Pulumi app.

Just over a month ago we publicly launched Pulumi, a new cloud native development platform.  The response has been overwhelming and we’ve been hard at work responding to your feedback ever since.

Today, we are excited to release Pulumi 0.15 and make it available to download.  This release includes improvements across the entire Pulumi development experience. Pulumi supports more platforms (Kubernetes and OpenStack, is faster (Parallelism, simpler (native TypeScript support), richer (serverless frameworks for Azure and Google Cloud),  and is more deeply integrated into the application lifecycle (GitHub App for CI/CD integration).
