In this article, I’ll show how Pulumi can be used with Aiven’s services to create infrastructure that can be migrated from cloud to cloud with no downtime.

This tutorial will use Python, Pulumi, Grafana, and an AWS Lambda function to simulate recording temperature data in an InfluxDB database.

General-purpose languages enable Infrastructure as Software – bringing tested toolchains and best practices to building infrastructure, e.g., languages, IDEs, testing, debugging, componentization, packaging, and versioning. Available in public preview, Pulumi’s Automation API is a robust programmatic layer on top of Pulumi’s infrastructure engine. It exposes Pulumi programs and stacks as strongly-typed and composable building blocks. Automation API allows you to embed the Pulumi engine inside your software projects so you can build software automation around entire infrastructure provisioning processes that normally require humans to operate.

Today, we are excited to announce Python support for this powerful feature, opening up a world of possibilities for Python developers.

Pulumi’s infrastructure as code tooling combines the programming languages and tools you already know with the full power of cloud infrastructure. But until now, some Pulumi components for cloud infrastructure, like our popular EKS package for Amazon’s Elastic Kubernetes Service, were only available in a subset of the languages supported by Pulumi.

Now, you can use the EKS package–previously only available for TypeScript–in all four Pulumi languages: TypeScript, Python, .NET, and Go. Regardless of the language you choose, you can manage EKS clusters with Pulumi, starting with the v0.22.0 release. Check out our Modern Infrastructure Wednesday video to see it in action:

Here at Pulumi, we believe in leveraging the best features of programming languages to create a delightful development experience for our users. Today, we continue our contributions in this area by announcing cross-language support for enum types in our provider SDKs, available in all Pulumi languages - Python, TypeScript, .NET and Go.

In this blog post, we will finish swapping out the frontend and backend of our Python AWS application. Although Flask and Redis are different from Django and MySQL in many ways, the underlying infrastructure behind their deployment is nonetheless very similar, and can be effortlessly updated as we transition from one to the other.

Today we’re excited to announce some fairly significant improvements to the experience of writing Pulumi programs in Python. We’ve added type annotations to APIs and now allow passing nested data as strongly typed classes instead of raw dicts. This provides a much better editing experience in IDEs, improved type checking, and overall consistency.

In our previous post, we created a Python voting application using Flask and Redis. This blog post will explore creating a MySQL database and initializing it with a schema and data. What seems to be a simple step is much more interesting than it appears, because Pulumi’s MySQL provider does not support creating and populating tables. To do it, we will extend it with a Dynamic Provider.

Policy as Code for Python is now GA in Pulumi 2.0. Policies written in code let you test, automate deployment, and enable version control. Python is a popular scripting language used for machine learning and artificial intelligence, data science, web development, and devops. It’s an ideal language for developers and operators to use in common.

Using Pulumi and general purpose languages for infrastructure as code comes with many benefits: leveraging existing skills and knowledge, eliminating boilerplate through abstraction, and using the same ecosystem of tools like IDEs and linters that your team already knows and loves. In general, these are all attributes of software engineering, which not only make us more productive, but also improve the quality of our code. It’s only natural, therefore, that using general purpose languages unlocks another important software engineering practice: testing.

In this article, we will see the many ways in which Pulumi lets us test our infrastructure as code.
