Pulumi has introduced several updates to its Cloud Engineering Platform, enhancing both its core functionalities and expanding provider support. A notable improvement is the update to the "dependsOn" feature, which now ensures dependent resources wait for a Helm Chart to be fully deployed before proceeding. The platform has also added a new provider for Elastic Cloud, allowing for the provisioning of resources like ElasticSearch, and expanded resources for the AWS and Azure Native providers. In the AWS Native provider, auto-naming is now supported, and both AWS and Azure have received new resources in their latest versions. Pulumi has simplified the process of using outputs in functions, and introduced a --json flag for detailed operation outputs. As part of its updates, Pulumi announced the forthcoming deprecation of Python 3.6 support and the ability to set a default organization for stack creation, facilitating better management of resources within company accounts.
