Pulumi has made Go a first-class language for building cloud infrastructure, allowing developers to manage environments like AWS, Azure, and GCP, as well as Kubernetes infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code. With the release of Pulumi 2.0, users can seamlessly deploy and manage Kubernetes resources, such as Pods, with Go, benefiting from strongly-typed inputs and outputs and reusable components for cleaner infrastructure design. Pulumi enables a productive experience for Go developers by integrating Kubernetes deployments with cloud providers and allowing the embedding of Pulumi programs within Go-based tools. By leveraging tools like the pulumi-docker package, developers can deploy custom Docker images and integrate them into Kubernetes clusters, offering a streamlined process that automatically handles updates and versioning of application code alongside the infrastructure. Pulumi's approach combines infrastructure and application deployment in concise, strongly-typed Go code, exemplified through various use cases such as deploying GKE clusters in GCP and managing complex Kubernetes applications efficiently.
