Summary

A new tutorial in collaboration with DigitalOcean guides users on managing DigitalOcean and Kubernetes infrastructure using Pulumi, emphasizing the use of infrastructure as code for provisioning and updating environments. This tutorial demonstrates setting up a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster, deploying an application, and assigning a stable domain name to the application's load balancer with minimal code, highlighting the ease and reliability of this approach. The method allows for creating, modifying, and scaling environments efficiently, standardizing deployments across different cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. The tutorial showcases the simplicity of DigitalOcean, enabling users to establish a fully functioning Kubernetes environment in just six minutes, thereby allowing developers to concentrate more on application logic rather than configuration. Additionally, the approach extends to provisioning various DigitalOcean resources, including Droplets and LoadBalancers, with further information available in the DigitalOcean API documentation.
