Introducing the new and improved ESC Editor
Blog post from Pulumi
Pulumi ESC is a centralized solution within Pulumi Cloud for managing secrets and configuration across various vaults and cloud providers, promoting modern security practices like short-lived credentials with OIDC and automated secret rotation. It integrates with multiple cloud providers and secret managers, offering features such as composable environments and built-in functions, which range from value transformations to encoding files as Base64. The newly introduced Pulumi ESC Web Editor enhances usability by providing a unified editor experience that allows users to manage their configurations through various means, including CLI commands, a VS Code extension, and the Pulumi Cloud Console. Key improvements include a new Inspect tab for editing secrets and gaining insights into configurations, the ability to switch seamlessly between writing YAML and using UI elements, and features that simplify adding secrets, using providers and functions, and exporting configurations. The editor aims to combine the power of a YAML editor with the user-friendly nature of UI controls, offering a more intuitive and efficient way to manage secrets and configurations.
