Summary

Pulumi has introduced support for .NET Core in preview, enabling millions of .NET developers to utilize infrastructure as code with C#, F#, and Visual Basic across multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, and macOS. This development allows users to create and manage cloud resources on major cloud providers, including Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform, without the need for learning JSON or YAML scripting. Pulumi simplifies the deployment of cloud infrastructure by using general-purpose programming languages to declaratively specify resources, with the Pulumi engine handling the orchestration of operations. The integration with .NET enhances developer productivity by allowing the use of familiar IDE features and NuGet libraries, while operators benefit from predictable and reliable deployments through the Pulumi CLI and CI/CD integrations. The article provides a practical example of deploying an application to Azure, showcasing Pulumi's ability to manage resources such as Azure App Services and SQL databases, thus highlighting its potential to streamline building modern, scalable applications.
