Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and its extension EKS Anywhere have significantly streamlined the management of Kubernetes clusters in the cloud, facilitating hybrid and on-premises deployments. This advancement has led to the development of Shared Services Platforms (SSPs), which enable application developers to self-service infrastructure environments and allow platform teams to standardize and automate resource provisioning. Pulumi's involvement in this ecosystem, through its multi-language components and the EKS Blueprints program, aims to simplify Kubernetes deployments by offering reusable components, secrets management, and centralized policy enforcement. The platform's new SSP SDK supports multiple programming languages and provides tools for managing environments, simplifying platform administration with addons, and onboarding teams via GitOps. Pulumi encourages community feedback to enhance these components and further streamline infrastructure management.
