The Pulumi Azure Native Provider 2.0 has been released, offering enhanced support for managing Microsoft Azure resources with a focus on performance and usability improvements. This major upgrade includes reduced SDK size by over 50%, refreshed default module versions to align with the latest Azure API updates, and expanded coverage with additional resources, functions, and input properties, enabling users to efficiently manage a wide range of Azure services. Key enhancements also include resolving title case inconsistencies for a unified experience and simplifying user-assigned identity inputs as string arrays for clearer configuration. The update underscores Pulumi's commitment to providing cutting-edge tools for building robust cloud infrastructure, with the new version available across TypeScript, Python, .NET, and Go. Current users are advised to update to the latest 1.x version before migrating to 2.x to address deprecations and ensure a smooth transition, and a live workshop is scheduled to guide users in leveraging the provider's capabilities for infrastructure as code on Azure.
