Pulumi Copilot has been making our customers’ day-to-day tasks easier since its release, and today we’re excited to expand its capabilities—Pulumi Copilot is now available across Pulumi Documentation and pulumi.com, and comes equipped with a powerful new Documentation Skill!
We’re thrilled to unveil the redesigned Pulumi Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Stacks page within Pulumi Cloud console, addressing one of the most upvoted issues in our Pulumi Cloud Requests repository! This revamped experience delivers a significant boost in performance and usability, empowering even the most complex organizations to manage their infrastructure with ease.
We are excited to announce a new feature for Pulumi Copilot: System Prompts. This enhancement empowers organizations to customize Pulumi Copilot’s responses for your organization, making your interactions with our AI assistant even more personalized to save you even more time.
At the heart of Pulumi’s approach to cloud infrastructure and secrets management is a belief in empowering engineers to use the best software engineering tools to manage complexity at scale and to be maximally productive building cloud infrastructure and applications for their businesses.
Today, we’re excited to announce a next big step in delivering great software engineering tools for Pulumi users, with the launch of a new Pulumi Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Extension. The Pulumi VS Code Extension brings Pulumi key features for Pulumi IaC and Pulumi ESC directly into the IDE environment that many Pulumi users work in every day. Pulumi IaC users can now debug their applications and get Pulumi YAML language support directly in VS Code. And Pulumi ESC users can now create and manage environments, secrets and configuration directly within the IDE with rich IDE features.
Managing secrets and configurations across multiple environments and teams can be a complex juggling act for development teams. Pulumi ESC, our developer-friendly secrets management product, simplifies this process and accelerates your development cycle. Today, we’re excited to make this process even easier with the launch of Webhooks for Pulumi ESC, a powerful new feature that allows you to send a custom trigger to any URL endpoint, enabling you to automate workflows and keep your infrastructure and applications up to date. Pulumi ESC Webhooks also integrates seamlessly with popular communication platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams.
We’re thrilled to unveil two new features that will empower you to organize your collection of Pulumi ESC Environments: Projects and Environment Tags. Projects offer a structured way to group related environments and Environment Tags allow you to add contextual information to each environment. Together, they offer a powerful way for you to manage, navigate, and collaborate on your secrets and configurations.
We are pleased to announce a major update to the Pulumi ESC’s Table Editor: full support for provider configurations is now live! When we first introduced the ESC Table view, our goal was to offer a user-friendly interface for managing complex configuration and secrets for your applications and infrastructure. This has empowered teams to focus on what they do best—building and deploying software.
In our initial launch, the Table Editor allowed you to perform CRUD operations on your secrets and plaintext values, decrypt secrets, import environments, and manage variables—all within a visual interface. Today, we’re taking the next step by enabling full read-write support for provider configurations within the Table Editor. This new capability allows you to add, edit, and manage your provider configurations directly from the table view, offering a more integrated and seamless experience.
One of our core goals at Pulumi is to provide access to manage any cloud infrastructure with a single unified programming model. Whether it’s multi-cloud (AWS+Azure+Kubernetes), hybrid cloud (GCP+VMWare+Cisco), or managed services (Databricks+GitHub+Cloudflare), Pulumi makes it easy to deploy and manage infrastructure across all of your cloud environments using any of the 150+ cloud providers in the Pulumi Registry.
We’re excited to take this even further by introducing support for using any Terraform or OpenTofu provider from within your Pulumi programs. If there is a long tail Cloud or SaaS platform that has a provider for those ecosystems, it now works with Pulumi as well. And if your organization has built your own custom Terraform or OpenTofu provider to support an internal cloud platform, you can use it from Pulumi as well, without having to publish it to any registry.
Pulumi has supported a Transformations system for a number of years now. This has proved to be a powerful and flexible escape hatch for modifying resource properties and options across your entire program. For example, you could use Transformations to automatically apply tags to all taggable resources in your program, including the children of component resources.
However, there is one major limitation with the existing Transformations system: it isn’t able to transform the children of packaged component resources, such as those in awsx and eks. This limitation is due to the fact that packaged component resources are created in a separate provider process and Transformations only work with resources created in your program’s process.
To address this limitation we’re introducing a new system called Transforms, which works with all resources, including packaged component resources and their children. The new Transforms system is intended to fully replace the old Transformations system (we plan to deprecate the old system in the future).
What an incredible two months at Pulumi! From the revolutionary AI-powered Pulumi Copilot to robust infrastructure lifecycle management, enhanced Pulumi ESC with versioning and SDKs, and a brand-new Docker Build provider, this release cycle is packed with high-impact features delivered at an unprecedented pace. Ready to see all the details? We’ve got a lot to cover, so let’s jump right into the highlights of this action-packed release.
