If you’ve deployed resources to your favorite cloud provider, you have probably found yourself sitting in the console thinking: “I don’t know how long this is going to take.” Then you deploy the resource and think: “When did I even start this?” When using Pulumi, the CLI prints out how long the update took after it ran, but while you’re in the moment, it feels like ages. We’re excited to announce a CLI usability enhancement You can now see how long each of your resources are taking to deploy.

One of our most up-voted feature requests (with 78 thumbs ups) is to support hierarchical config. We’re happy to announce that we’ve now released the first part of plans to support this feature. Pulumi will now allow you to set configuration values in your Pulumi.yaml file, using the given value as a default for all stacks in the project. While we expect even this first level of support will be incredibly useful to many people we also want to assure you that we have many more plans in place to make this feature even better.

Pulumi enables engineers to employ the best practices of their field to infrastructure as code. The pulumi watch command is an example of this, enabling rapid prototyping and a “hot reload” style developer experience for prototyping Pulumi programs. In this post you’ll see what watch mode enables, the challenges encountered in maintaining the feature, and how we were able to use Rust to bring that feature to more of our users.

Under the hood, Pulumi is a desired state engine. This means that you tell Pulumi what you want, Pulumi knows what already exists, and it makes targeted changes to match the state of the world with your desired state. This works great as long as Pulumi understands the state of the world, which it nearly always does. We will discuss how pulumi refresh can be used to bring Pulumi’s state back inline with external state.

A few months ago we launched Organization Access Tokens for the Pulumi Service and saw overwhelmingly fast adoption from our customer base. Based on this customer demand, and existing customer feedback, we prioritized improvements in the scoping of access tokens. Today, we are launching Team Access Tokens, which allow Organization and Team Admins to create access tokens scoped to a Pulumi Team. Pulumi Service customers on the Enterprise and Business Critical editions can use Pulumi Teams to set role-based access controls (RBAC) for stacks by enabling Organization administrators to assign a set of stack permissions to a group of users.

Starting today, users can create Stack READMEs in the Pulumi Service that dynamically update based on Stack Outputs.

Each Pulumi Stack you deploy manages a key set of cloud infrastructure for your organization. The Pulumi Console includes a variety of features for exposing key information about your stack for other users within your organization - configuration, outputs, resources under management, links to cloud providers, and a graph of all resources. However, it’s often useful to allow the author of a Pulumi Stack to describe in their own words the key elements of a stack, so future viewers can quickly understand the components and cloud resources that are managed.
