Pulumi

Pulumi is a comprehensive cloud infrastructure platform designed for engineers, developers, and enterprise platform teams to automate, secure, and manage their cloud environments. It addresses the complexity and fragmentation of modern deployments by unifying Infrastructure as Code (IaC), secrets management, and governance into a single, cohesive workflow. Pulumi empowers you to ship infrastructure with the same rigor and practices you apply to application code.

Key Features

Pulumi delivers deep control and accelerated development by enabling standard software engineering practices across your entire infrastructure lifecycle.

💻 Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in Any Language

Move beyond proprietary Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) and write your infrastructure definitions in familiar, general-purpose languages like TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, or Java. This capability allows you to leverage existing IDE support, package ecosystems, and unit testing frameworks, treating infrastructure like software. You gain the flexibility to deploy consistently across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, and thousands of other providers using a unified API.

🔑 Centralized Secrets Management (Pulumi ESC)

Eliminate secrets sprawl and simplify configuration across diverse cloud environments. Pulumi Environment, Secrets, and Configuration (ESC) provides a single interface to centralize secrets from every major vault (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, 1Password). This feature provides dynamic credentials via OIDC, comprehensive RBAC, versioning, and full audit logging, offering a secure, governed solution that works seamlessly with or without Pulumi IaC.

🧠 Agentic AI for Infrastructure (Pulumi Neo)

Introducing the industry’s first agent built specifically for infrastructure. Pulumi Neo goes beyond simple code generation; it is an intelligent agent that understands infrastructure context and respects existing policies. Neo can execute complex, end-to-end tasks, such as generating infrastructure from plain English requirements, reviewing pull requests, debugging deployments, and providing instant cloud insights, significantly accelerating your automation capabilities.

🛡️ Real-Time Governance and Policy Enforcement

Achieve multi-cloud visibility and ensure compliance by enforcing policies automatically using Policy as Code. Pulumi allows you to write policies in standard languages (like TypeScript or Python) to define custom rules or leverage hundreds of built-in policies. This proactively blocks non-compliant infrastructure at deployment time, ensuring security and governance are baked into your workflow, not bolted on afterward.

🏗️ Internal Developer Platform (IDP) Enablement

Empower your platform teams to define and expose secure, pre-approved infrastructure templates—known as "golden paths"—to application engineers. Pulumi's Internal Developer Platform capabilities support various provisioning methods, from full code to low-code YAML, or no-code portals, accelerating team velocity while maintaining enterprise-grade RBAC, drift detection, and dependency management for Day 2 operations.

Use Cases

Pulumi is designed to solve real-world development and operational challenges, allowing teams to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure tooling friction.

1. Accelerate Multi-Cloud Deployment Cycles: Use reusable components (Pulumi Packages) and real programming languages to manage complex multi-cloud, multi-region setups (like Kubernetes clusters or serverless functions) with a single, consistent workflow. Teams can reduce provisioning time and accelerate time-to-market by leveraging infrastructure intelligence that respects predefined guardrails.

2. Achieve Continuous Security and Compliance: Apply Policy as Code to automatically scan and enforce security rules across all infrastructure resources, regardless of the cloud provider. Use Pulumi Insights to track compliance in real-time, generate necessary reports, and export complete audit trails to your existing SIEM systems.

3. Securely Onboard and Empower Developers: Platform teams can leverage the Automation API to build self-service portals that provision approved resources and provide new developers with secure, dynamic, on-demand credentials (e.g., temporary AWS or Azure access) managed centrally by Pulumi ESC, minimizing manual setup and security risks.

Conclusion

Pulumi is the modern infrastructure platform built for the cloud engineering era, offering the precision of real programming languages and the power of agentic AI, all unified under a strong governance and security framework. By providing a single pane of glass for multi-cloud management and centralizing critical functions, Pulumi helps enterprises and platform teams eliminate bottlenecks and ship infrastructure changes with speed, confidence, and control.
