Summary

Pulumi has enhanced its Infrastructure as Code platform by expanding access to its policy engine, now available to all Team and Enterprise customers, to improve governance for modern cloud platforms. The updates include a redesigned policy management experience and new policy packs, facilitating easier security and compliance for both human developers and AI agents like Pulumi Neo. Pulumi's Policy as Code (PaC) framework allows organizations to utilize general-purpose programming languages such as TypeScript and Python to implement nuanced policies through conditional logic, reusable functions, and unit tests. The new streamlined experience simplifies policy discovery and application through an intuitive in-console workflow, while pre-built policy packs like Pulumi Best Practices and HITRUST CSF v11.5 provide immediate governance solutions. The policy management system supports both preventative and audit approaches to governance, ensuring compliance and security across entire infrastructures without impeding developer velocity.
