Reflecting on 2018, Pulumi celebrated significant milestones, including the launch of its open-source project aimed at simplifying cloud software creation and operation, which drew enthusiastic responses from a diverse community of cloud engineers. This community has grown to thousands across global companies, fostering collaboration and open-source contributions. Pulumi expanded support for major public clouds like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, along with other providers, and introduced a native Kubernetes provider, enhancing multi-cloud engineering workflows. In October, Pulumi launched its commercial SaaS product, offering a scalable and secure solution for cloud deployment and team collaboration, accompanied by a successful Series A funding round of $15 million to further develop their projects and meet customer needs. As they look to 2019, Pulumi plans to continue engaging with its open-source community and delivering solutions that enhance cloud engineering, driven by a commitment to openness and collaboration.
