New Pulumi ESC Onboarding and OIDC Provider Experience

Pulumi ESC (Environments, Secrets, and Configuration) enhances infrastructure and application management by offering centralized secrets management and configuration orchestration, featuring a newly redesigned onboarding experience and automated setup as an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider. This update simplifies the process of managing configurations for Pulumi programs and handling secret rotation, while also centralizing secrets across multiple providers. Pulumi ESC can issue short-lived, signed tokens for temporary cloud credentials, improving security by eliminating the need for hard-coded credentials. The onboarding now includes an automated OIDC setup for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, allowing users to log in with cloud credentials and let Pulumi Cloud manage the setup process, streamlining the creation of ESC environments. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to simplify the setup and onboarding process, making it easier for teams to configure, secure, and manage environments effectively.
