Zephyr's Summer Intern Experience with Pulumi
Hi, I am Zephyr Zhou, a senior Computer Science student at the University of Washington. I spent this past summer interning at Pulumi. This is my first internship ever in my life. Thanks to Pulumi for providing this opportunity even in this difficult time of the Covid-19 epidemic. Despite the sad truth that I couldn’t get in touch offline, I believe this will be one of my most precious memories.
Time goes by so fast, but before saying goodbye to my internship, I would like to share the story.
Reflections of a Pulumi Intern
Hi everyone! I’m Albert, a soon-to-be sophomore studying computer science at the University of Washington. Today marks my last day as a Pulumi intern, so I figure I’d reflect on my experiences up until this point.
Joining Pulumi
I heard of Pulumi for the first time when they visited my school’s career fair in January. As I rounded the corner into the CSE1 atrium, I saw a banner titled “Modern Infrastructure as Code,” with some lines of TypeScript of what appeared to be the creation of an S3 bucket. I found it interesting because it looked so simple and modular. In contrast, when I had played around with AWS in the past to deploy the occasional Django web app, it had always involved following a series of exact instructions (usually go to this dashboard, copy this YAML file, run this command, and pray it works).
The Pulumi Intern Experience
What is the cloud? Three months ago, that one word simply meant a bunch of water suspended in the atmosphere, but now it means more than that.

Why Pulumi?
I’ve interned at a few different companies before, but for my last internship, there were several things I was looking for:
A start-up. All the companies I worked at previously had at least a couple thousand people, and I wanted to see first-hand the difference in both engineering and culture between larger, more established companies and smaller, newer ones.
