Announcing 6.0 of the Pulumi AWS Provider

Pulumi has released version 6.0 of its AWS provider, which is the most widely used in the Pulumi ecosystem, bringing a range of improvements and new features, including 56 new resources and 23 new functions. This major release incorporates breaking changes, aligns support with both the new Terraform Plugin SDK and the legacy Terraform Plugin Framework, and optimizes the SDK size, reducing it by up to 90% compared to version 5.0. The update also includes fixes for highly requested issues and deprecates older resources in favor of more logically organized versions. The new version ensures better performance, quicker download times, and an enhanced developer experience, with details available in the release notes and migration guide. Pulumi invites users to explore the new features and register for a live workshop on September 7, 2023, to see the AWS 6.0 provider in action.
