Code faster

Write infrastructure code in TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, .NET, Java, and YAML using your IDE and any language ecosystem tools.

Build on any cloud

Access the full breadth of services in AWS, Azure, GCP, and 170+ providers through a complete and consistent SDK interface.

AI-powered infrastructure

Generate Pulumi code from natural language or convert existing Terraform with Pulumi AI and Neo.

Migrate from Terraform in minutes

Free Migration Tools

Use tf2pulumi to convert your existing Terraform HCL to Python, TypeScript, Go, or C#. Import existing state with pulumi import. Keep your current infrastructure running while you migrate at your own pace. No forced deadlines. No resource caps.

Convert HCL to real code

The tf2pulumi tool converts your .tf files to Pulumi programs in your language of choice. Try it at pulumi.com/tf2pulumi.

Import existing state

Already have infrastructure managed by Terraform? Import your state directly into Pulumi without re-provisioning. Zero downtime migration.

No 500 resource limit

Pulumi Cloud’s free tier has no managed resource caps. Manage as many resources as you need. Scale when you’re ready.

Build infrastructure faster with reusable components

Pulumi Packages

Build and reuse higher-level abstractions for cloud architectures with multi-language Pulumi Packages. Distribute the packages through repositories or package managers so your team members can reuse them.

import * as eks from "@pulumi/eks";

// Create an EKS cluster with the default configuration.
const cluster = new eks.Cluster("eks-cluster");

// Export the cluster's kubeconfig.
export const kubeconfig = cluster.kubeconfig;
import pulumi
import pulumi_eks as eks

# Create an EKS cluster with the default configuration.
cluster = eks.Cluster("eks-cluster")

# Export the cluster's kubeconfig.
pulumi.export("kubeconfig", cluster.kubeconfig)
package main

import (
  "github.com/pulumi/pulumi-eks/sdk/go/eks"
  "github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
  pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
    // Create an EKS cluster with default settings.
    cluster, err := eks.NewCluster(ctx, "eks-cluster", nil)
    if err != nil {
      return err
    }

    // Export the cluster's kubeconfig.
    ctx.Export("kubeconfig", cluster.Kubeconfig)
    return nil
  })
}
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Pulumi;
using Pulumi.Eks;

await Deployment.RunAsync(() =>
{
  // Create an EKS cluster with default settings.
  var cluster = new Cluster("eks-cluster");

  // Export the cluster's kubeconfig.
  return new Dictionary<string, object?>
  {
    ["kubeconfig"] = cluster.Kubeconfig
  };
});
import com.pulumi.Context;

public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

    private static void stack(Context ctx) {
    final var cluster = new Cluster("eks-cluster");
    ctx.export("kubeconfig", cluster.kubeconfig());
