Pulumi has introduced native support for integrating GitLab Merge Requests, enhancing the ability to confidently approve merge requests by allowing users to preview and validate infrastructure changes within the GitLab CI/CD workflow. This integration leverages GitOps principles, using Pulumi's commands to preview and update infrastructure changes as part of a streamlined workflow, ensuring that changes are validated before application. Users familiar with both Pulumi and GitLab CI/CD can now centrally manage infrastructure changes during the merge request process, thus improving visibility and reducing the risk of missing important updates. The integration aims to improve application delivery by providing a seamless way to manage infrastructure changes, and users are encouraged to explore detailed setup instructions in the documentation and engage with the Pulumi Community for feedback and suggestions.
