We work with thousands of customers who prefer Pulumi due to our modern approach to infrastructure that delivers faster time to market with built-in security and compliance. Yet we know many organizations have years of investments into tools like Terraform. At the same time, HashiCorp customers are increasingly telling us about their frustrations post-IBM acquisition: rate increases, loss of open source heritage, overnight rug-pull of CDKTF, … and the hits just keep on coming. Today, we’re excited to announce three new ways Pulumi is enabling customers of HashiCorp, an IBM Company, who want a better, open source friendly, modern solution for their IaC to choose Pulumi. First, Pulumi Cloud will support Terraform and OpenTofu, so you can continue using any Terraform or Pulumi CLI and language with the complete Pulumi Cloud product, including our infrastructure engineering AI agent, Neo. Second, Pulumi’s own open source IaC tool will support HCL natively as one of its many languages, alongside the industry’s best languages including Python, TypeScript, Go, C#, Java, and YAML. Pulumi is multi-language at its core and many organizations are diverse and polyglot—these new capabilities truly make Pulumi the most universal IaC platform with the broadest support. Third, we’re offering flexible financing to make it easy to depart HashiCorp for Pulumi.

We’ve been in the infrastructure business for nearly a decade, and we’ve never been more excited about, or in awe of, the scale we are seeing as the industry pursues superintelligence. We are now hitting a tipping point that requires entirely different approaches to managing and scaling infrastructure in this new era.

What do we mean by superintelligence? Superintelligence means AI systems that operate with genuine autonomy—planning, reasoning, executing, adapting—at scale, on the path toward human-level and eventually superhuman intelligence. The infrastructure needed to accomplish this is greater than anything we’ve ever seen. Jensen Huang projects $600 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year, scaling to $3-4 trillion by decade’s end. Stargate committed $500 billion to AI infrastructure in the U.S. Microsoft, Meta, and Google are each spending $70-90 billion annually on datacenters. AWS just activated Project Rainier, a data center scaling to one million custom Trainium chips for Anthropic’s frontier models.

Superintelligence is driving the biggest, fastest infrastructure scaling period in the history of computing. This is exciting but comes with challenges: all of that infrastructure has to be managed, secured, scaled, made compliant, and cost effective. Legacy infrastructure tools weren’t built for this reality—they add friction that slows progress or breaks it altogether.

This reveals an important insight:

The magic of Pulumi is that we rarely have to worry about the fine details of how our deployment and infrastructure management works, allowing us to focus instead on what we want. If our program declares an S3 bucket, Pulumi handles creation, updates, and deletion automatically.

Most of the time, this is exactly what we want. However, some use cases require finer-grained control over resource dependencies. Today, we’re introducing the replaceWith resource option, a new feature that gives you explicit control over replacement dependencies between resources.

With the release of Pulumi v3.208.0, all CLI flags can now be configured as environment variables. This addresses a common friction point of having to remember the same flags across multiple commands and of ensuring that your entire team uses consistent CLI options.

Pulumi programs are declarative, allowing you to specify the desired state of your infrastructure while Pulumi figures out the rest. But what about the times where you want to be more involved in what Pulumi is doing? Resource hooks are one of our most requested features, and from Pulumi 3.182.0 we’re excited to announce that you’ll be able to use them to run arbitrary code at any point in Pulumi’s resource lifecycle!

We’re excited to announce the new AI capabilities for Pulumi CLI powered by Pulumi Copilot that translate complex infrastructure changes into clear, human-readable explanations and help resolve deployment errors with actionable guidance. Enable these preview features with the --copilot flag.

At Pulumi, we are committed to accelerating your cloud infrastructure journey by eliminating barriers between your teams and the tools they need. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a game-changing milestone that puts unprecedented power in your hands: the v1.0.0 release of the Pulumi Go Provider SDK!

Managing large-scale infrastructure can be challenging, especially when you need to perform operations on specific subsets of your resources. Pulumi’s stack operations like pulumi up and pulumi destroy are powerful for deploying and tearing down environments, but sometimes you need more fine-grained control over which resources are affected.

Today, we’re excited to announce a highly requested feature that will save you time and reduce complexity in your workflows: the ability to exclude specific resources from stack operations using the new --exclude and --exclude-dependents flags.

These new flags complement the existing --target functionality, giving you powerful options whether you want to focus on a small subset of resources or exclude just a few from larger operations. No more workarounds or custom scripts to achieve selective deployments!

Pulumi is excited to announce the release of Visual Import, a new feature that transforms the way platform teams onboard existing cloud infrastructure into Pulumi. With Visual Import, you can discover unmanaged cloud resources across your organization, organize them into logical units, and instantly generate high-quality Pulumi code—with AI enhancements built in.

Visual Import is now available for all Team, Enterprise and Business Critical customers with Pulumi Insights enabled.

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?
