Pulumi

What is Pulumi?

Pulumi is an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) platform used to define and manage cloud infrastructure. Generally, domain-specific languages (DSLs) like Terraform or CloudFormation are used for cloud infrastructure management, but this platform helps to use Python, JavaScript, Go, and TypeScript. It uses a command-language interface for managing infrastructure across platforms, making deployment and management more efficient and scalable.

It uses AI support for code generation and provides auto code completion, type checking, and documentation features. It also helps catch and debug quick errors. It uses policy as code to enforce security and compliance policies and configuration management for different configuration settings. Allows rules for scaling to be set up based on metrics like CPU utilization or request rates. It supports an Automation API that helps to manage programmatic infrastructure management tasks automatically. It helps to connect various developers, security, and operation teams for collaborative work using collaborative tools.
