Pulumi has launched Crosswalk for Kubernetes, a suite of open-source tools, libraries, and playbooks designed to streamline the adoption of Kubernetes within organizations by bridging the gap between developers and operators. Over the past year, Pulumi has gained insights from assisting companies in transitioning to Kubernetes for their infrastructure and application workloads, and the release aims to disseminate these learnings to a broader audience. The platform supports managing Kubernetes resources using Pulumi's infrastructure as code tools, allowing for the use of languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python, and supports the entire Kubernetes object model. Pulumi's unified approach facilitates seamless integration of Kubernetes with underlying cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and more, simplifying complex provisioning tasks. The Crosswalk initiative specifically addresses challenges in Kubernetes production environments, such as infrastructure management, developer accessibility, and scaling operational delivery. It introduces playbooks for best practices in cluster infrastructure, tools to reduce complexity in Kubernetes configurations, and capabilities for CI/CD integrations to support global scale delivery, all while encouraging community involvement to further evolve the project.
