Pulumi command line

## Synopsis

Pulumi - Modern Infrastructure as Code

To begin working with Pulumi, run the `pulumi new` command:

$ pulumi new

This will prompt you to create a new project for your cloud and language of choice.

The most common commands from there are:

- pulumi up       : Deploy code and/or resource changes
- pulumi stack    : Manage instances of your project
- pulumi config   : Alter your stack's configuration or secrets
- pulumi destroy  : Tear down your stack's resources entirely

For more information, please visit the project page: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/
