Beyond YAML in Kubernetes: The 2026 Automation Era

Wednesday, Nov 12, 2025

Kubernetes continues to evolve, powering not only applications but entire AI and ML systems across clouds, edges, and enterprises. By 2026, DevOps engineers, SREs, cloud engineers, and platform teams face growing pressure to deliver faster, smarter, and more secure infrastructure at scale.

Kubernetes automation is entering a new era where infrastructure as code, policy enforcement, and AI-driven orchestration work together to manage cloud environments intelligently.

Pulumi’s 2025 advancements, including Pulumi Kubernetes Operator 2.0 GA, new Kubernetes best practices playbooks, Pulumi Neo for AI assisted infrastructure management, and Policy Automation, set the foundation for a new era of Kubernetes automation that extends across every role involved in managing modern infrastructure.

Deploy AI Models on Amazon SageMaker using Pulumi Python IaC

Monday, Sep 11, 2023

Running models from Hugging Face on Amazon SageMaker is a popular deployment option for AI/ML services. While the SageMaker console allows for provisioning these cloud resources, this deployment pattern is labor intensive to document and vulnerable to human errors when reproducing as a regular operations practice. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) offers a reliable and easy to duplicate deployment practice. By developing this IaC with Pulumi, practitioners can choose to write their infrastructure code in Python and seamlessly develop both AI application code and IaC code in the same language.

The Real AI Challenge is Cloud, not Code!

Wednesday, Aug 30, 2023

The AI industry is stealing the show as tech’s goldrush of the ’20s. Just looking at ChatGPT’s record setting user growth, and rapid 3rd party integration by top brands, it is not surprising the hype suggests this is the beginning of a major digital transformation.

However, using AI/ML in your own products has some major challenges and obstacles. Below is a diagram of the end to end workflow of building and using an AI model: preparing the data, training a model, fine-tuning a model, hosting and running a model, building a backend service to serve the model, and building the user interface that interacts with the model. Most AI engineers are only involved in a few steps of the process. However, there is one challenge that is common across the entire workflow: creating and managing the cloud infrastructure is hard.
