In one of my recent talks, I mentioned that the foundation of a successful Kubernetes-powered platform is the use of Kubernetes Operators, as they are a great way to automate operational tasks and the lifecycle of complex applications and services on Kubernetes.
Organizations are under constant pressure to deliver new products and features faster than ever. But speed alone isn’t enough—businesses must also navigate the complex challenges of ensuring security and managing infrastructure costs effectively.
Enter DevSecOps - the strategic integration of security practices into the DevOps workflow. By automating security processes, organizations can achieve improved speed, scalability, and business impact, all while ensuring security remains a priority.
Tivity Health, a leading health and fitness solutions provider, has embraced this DevSecOps approach using Pulumi, a modern infrastructure as code (IaC) platform. During PulumiUP 2024, David Giambruno, Tivity Health’s VP of Engineering and DevOps, shared how, by leveraging Pulumi, he led the transformation that continuously drives remarkable results in speed, cost savings, and security.
YAML and Kubernetes go together like peanut butter and jelly. While Kubernetes objects can be defined in JSON, YAML has emerged as the de facto standard.
It’s often the first tool developers encounter when diving into Kubernetes, and for good reason - its human-readable format makes it the preferred choice in most tutorials, documentation, and even production deployments.
Setting up an internal developer platform (IDP) can be a daunting task. There are a lot of tools out there that do some of the work for you, but none of them do all of it. Pulumi P3 is no different. Pulumi Patterns & Practices Platform (P3) is a reference architecture that we will be describing, and providing code for, through this series of articles.
In 2025, several trends will dominate cloud computing, driving innovation, efficiency, and scalability. From Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to AI/ML, platform engineering to multi-cloud and hybrid strategies, and security practices, let’s explore the 10 biggest emerging trends.
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, organizations are increasingly adopting platform engineering to optimize their software delivery and operations. Gartner predicts that by 2026, 80% of large software engineering organizations will have platform engineering teams to provide reusable services, components, and tools for application delivery. Additionally, by 2027, 80% of large enterprises will leverage platform engineering to scale DevOps initiatives in hybrid cloud environments effectively.
This shift is driven by the rise of cloud adoption, where many enterprises face the challenge of uncoordinated application teams deploying workloads in different ways across various cloud platforms. This siloed approach often results in a lack of standardization, security risks, and operational inefficiencies.
Platform engineering offers a strategic solution to these issues. This guide provides the essential steps to successfully implement platform engineering, from laying the foundation to scaling internal developer platforms (IDPs) for future growth.
In the ever-evolving world of automotive technology, BMW has been at the forefront of innovation, seamlessly integrating software into the heart of their vehicles. As cars become increasingly complex, with a growing emphasis on connectivity, over-the-air upgrades, and brand-specific user experiences, the need for a robust and scalable software development approach has become paramount.
Enter the BMW Software Factory, a platform that aims to empower the company’s developers and provide them with a superior development experience. At the core of this initiative is the adoption of Pulumi, a modern infrastructure as code (IaC) solution that has transformed the way BMW manages its software ecosystem.
As leadership teams continue to bet big on AI, the tradeoffs between how much to invest and when to expect a reasonable return are ever-present. While exploring scenarios for accelerating this return on investment, organizations are discovering some unique ways to accelerate their AI payback with Platform Engineering.
As innovation and ROI pressures mount, how are savvy tech organizations using Platform Engineering to get more competitive advantage - and perhaps a quantum leap - from their AI investments?
We are excited to announce the launch of the Pulumi Partner Program, a strategic initiative designed to empower our partners and their customers to accelerate cloud projects and achieve faster time-to-market. This program is crafted for cloud and SaaS companies who are building, integrating, and going to market with Pulumi.
