Pulumi & Kubernetes: Next steps

Congrats! You’ve deployed your first project to Kubernetes with Pulumi. Here are some next steps, depending on your learning style.

Try Pulumi ESC (Environments, Secrets, and Configuration)

Pulumi ESC is a centralized secrets management and orchestration service. It introduces the concepts of environments — managed collections of static and dynamic settings that you can use to configure any project, stack, application, or service, including with short-lived cloud credentials through OpenID Connect.

With Pulumi ESC you can:

• Stop secret sprawl. Pull and sync configuration and secrets with any secrets store – including HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, GCP Secret Manager, 1Password, and more – and consume in any application, tool, or CI/CD platform.
• Trust (and prove) your secrets are secure. Every environment can be locked down with role-based access controls (RBAC) and versioned with all changes fully logged for auditing.
• Ditch .env files. No more storing secrets in plaintext on dev computers. Developers can easily access secrets via CLI, API, Kubernetes operator, the Pulumi Cloud UI, and in-code with Typescript/Javascript, Python, and Go SDKs.
