History

[edit]

Pulumi was founded in 2017 by former Microsoft employees Joe Duffy and Eric Rudder.[2]

Software

[edit]

The open-source Pulumi CLI and SDKs allows users to manage cloud infrastructure resources[3] in Cloud Providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes.[4] using programming languages such as Go, JavaScript, TypeScript,[5] Python, Java, C# and YAML.

Pulumi's Automation API supports provisioning infrastructure via programmatic workflows.[6]

Criticism

[edit]

In May 2024 it was reported that Pulumi AI-generated code examples indexed by Google's search engine contain many cases that are untested and/or buggy. [7] One comment to the report suggested that examples like those can be avoided by using Google's advanced search prefix, "before:2023" when searching for code.
