Version 2.0 of the Pulumi Kubernetes Operator introduces a Kubernetes controller that facilitates the deployment of cloud infrastructure within Pulumi Stacks, enhancing collaboration between Kubernetes developers and operators. This operator allows users to manage a wide range of resources, including virtual machines, managed Kubernetes clusters, and serverless functions, by creating Pulumi Stacks as first-class API resources. Users can deploy these stacks on various cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure using supported programming languages like TypeScript, Python, .NET, and Go. The operator integrates smoothly with CI/CD processes and supports advanced deployment strategies like Blue/Green, enabling seamless software updates without downtime. Detailed examples, including deploying an NGINX Stack and creating a Kubernetes cluster on AWS EKS, are provided to guide users through the process. For those interested in exploring further, GitHub resources and community engagement opportunities are available.
