Pulumi has introduced support for authoring Azure Deployment Environments (ADE) environment definitions, allowing developers to use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to manage Azure resources efficiently. This integration enables developers to leverage the Pulumi IaC platform's capabilities to deploy and test cloud-based applications using familiar programming models, while maintaining centralized governance. ADE facilitates rapid infrastructure deployment through project-based templates and a user-friendly self-service portal. The collaboration between Pulumi and Azure has resulted in a standard container image that allows Pulumi programs to run seamlessly within ADE, and developers can customize environments using various programming languages or custom container images. This new capability enhances development processes by enabling streamlined provisioning of Azure environments, supporting collaboration, and ensuring secure, compliant deployments with features like centralized policy enforcement and CI/CD integration. Pulumi and Azure encourage developers to explore these new tools and resources, offering workshops and code examples to facilitate adoption.
