At Pulumi, we recognize the challenges platform teams face in maintaining the stability and compliance of their cloud infrastructures. One of the primary challenges is configuration drift, where the actual state of the infrastructure deviates from its intended state. This deviation can occur for various reasons, including manual adjustments made directly in the cloud provider’s console, unintended consequences of scripts, or unauthorized changes. Such drift can lead to significant problems including security vulnerabilities that open up potential breaches, compliance violations that can result in penalties, operational disruptions that affect user experience and business operations, and increased costs from unnecessary resource spend.

In the dynamic landscape of cloud-based software development, platform teams face the continuous challenge of balancing the need for innovation with the imperative to control cloud costs and security. Pulumi Cloud’s new Time-to-Live (TTL) Stacks feature directly addresses this challenge by empowering teams to manage infrastructure lifecycles automatically, mitigating the risks associated with stale infrastructure and resource costs ballooning.

Creating temporary environments for development, testing, or staging is a common practice in the lifecycle of software development. These environments are crucial for running experiments, testing new features, and ensuring that everything works smoothly before going live. However, these environments often don’t get decommissioned properly and linger, forgotten, consuming resources and adding unnecessary costs to your cloud bill.
