AI-Assisted Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi's Model Context Protocol Server

AI-Assisted Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi's Model Context Protocol Server

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has revolutionized how we manage cloud resources, but navigating complex cloud provider APIs, writing boilerplate code, and iterating through deployment cycles can still be time-consuming. Pulumi offers a fantastic developer experience using familiar programming languages. But what if we could make it even faster and more intuitive by integrating powerful AI assistants directly into the development loop?

Azure Native V3: A Leaner, Faster SDK for Microsoft Azure

Azure Native V3: A Leaner, Faster SDK for Microsoft Azure

Today we’re excited to announce the release of Pulumi Azure Native V3 - a major leap forward for the most comprehensive infrastructure as code solution for Microsoft Azure. This release delivers a remarkable 75% reduction in SDK size while maintaining our complete coverage of the Azure ecosystem.

Pulumi Azure Native provides direct access to the Azure Resource Manager API, making it hands-down the best infrastructure as code solution for Microsoft Azure. Unlike traditional providers that abstract away cloud APIs, Azure Native gives you more resource and property coverage compared to Terraform by directly mapping to Azure’s native REST API. This means:

  • Complete API coverage: 100% of Azure resources available in Azure Resource Manager
  • Same-day access to new Azure features: No waiting for provider updates
  • Advanced property support: Access to all resource properties, not just a subset
  • Latest API versions: Always up-to-date with the newest stable Azure APIs

Introducing Rotated Secrets in Pulumi ESC

Introducing Rotated Secrets in Pulumi ESC

Managing secrets effectively is no longer a “nice-to-have”—it’s a must-have for any organization building and scaling applications in the cloud. Static, long-lived credentials like database passwords, API keys, and IAM user credentials are a major security vulnerability. They’re often overexposed, residing in source code, configuration files, or other easily accessible locations. Manual rotation processes are tedious, error-prone, and infrequent, leaving a wide window of opportunity for potential breaches. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a powerful new capability in Pulumi ESC that directly addresses this challenge: Rotated Secrets.
