Summary

Azure DevOps is widely used by teams to manage various aspects of software development, including pipelines, repositories, builds, and test plans, while Pulumi offers open-source tools ideal for deploying infrastructure as code on Azure. A new open-source task extension for Azure Pipelines has been introduced to facilitate the integration of Pulumi, making it easier for teams to adopt continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) for their Azure infrastructure. This extension manages the Pulumi CLI installation and supports command execution against specified stacks, and can be installed from the Visual Studio Marketplace. Users can configure the Pulumi task extension using either the Classic Editor Console or a YAML file, with the capability to run on both Linux and Windows environments. Once set up, this integration allows for smoother inclusion of Pulumi in CI/CD pipelines, enabling previews of infrastructure changes and simplifying deployment processes. Users are encouraged to join the Pulumi Community Slack or explore additional resources for in-depth learning and community engagement.
