Pulumi has introduced a new Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Extension aimed at enhancing the productivity of engineers working with Pulumi's Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Environments, Secrets, and Configuration (ESC) features by integrating these capabilities directly into the IDE. This extension allows users to debug Pulumi applications, manage environments and secrets, and work efficiently with Pulumi YAML by providing functionalities like automatic launch configurations, contextual warnings, and completion lists. The extension supports debugging across multiple programming languages, facilitates editing and managing ESC environments within the IDE, and enhances Pulumi YAML language support with features such as type checking and IntelliSense. Currently in public beta, Pulumi is actively seeking feedback to refine the extension, with plans to introduce further improvements in the coming months to optimize Pulumi development workflows.
