Announcing the Next-Generation of Pulumi Components: Enabling Infrastructure Abstractions
Blog post from Pulumi
Pulumi Components have been enhanced to allow infrastructure building blocks to be authored in one language and consumed in any other Pulumi language, including Pulumi YAML, facilitating cross-language collaboration within organizations. This development enables platform teams to create sophisticated infrastructure abstractions in their preferred programming languages, while application developers can utilize these components with simpler interfaces without compromising type safety or functionality. The new features also simplify the sharing process by allowing components to be pushed to a Git repository and incorporated into projects using the `pulumi package add` command, supporting both local and remote sourcing. This innovation accelerates productivity and innovation across teams by providing a straightforward way to enforce organizational standards and encouraging collaboration across different programming environments. Pulumi Components are similar to Terraform modules but offer enhanced capabilities through full programming language support and stronger typing, now with added cross-language consumption flexibility, making them a powerful tool for developing reusable infrastructure patterns.
