Pulumi has introduced support for email-based identities, allowing users to sign up without relying on social identity platforms, enhancing the flexibility of account creation. This update is part of a broader effort to expand connectivity options, following previous integrations with Atlassian and GitLab identities. The platform offers a quickstart guide for users to set up new template-based projects, complete with a project and stack ready for use with the Pulumi CLI, alongside documentation for integrating Pulumi into CI/CD pipelines and optimizing Kubernetes solutions. Pulumi encourages user engagement and feedback through its community Slack channel.
