Pulumi Cloud Now Supports Google Sign-In

Pulumi Cloud has introduced Google as a first-class identity provider, allowing users to sign in using their existing Google accounts, which many developers and platform engineers already use for various services like email and cloud console access. This integration simplifies the sign-in process by enabling users to log in with a single click if they are part of Google Workspace, eliminating the need for new credentials and allowing the inheritance of existing security policies, such as two-factor authentication. The process involves selecting the "Sign in with Google" option on the Pulumi Cloud sign-in page for new users or linking a Google account to an existing Pulumi Cloud account through account settings. While Google sign-in facilitates individual authentication, it does not function as a single sign-on (SSO) identity provider for entire organizations in Pulumi Cloud; for such centralized governance, SAML SSO with Google Workspace is recommended and is available on Pulumi Enterprise and Business Critical editions. This feature is now accessible to both new and existing Pulumi Cloud users, and feedback is encouraged via the Pulumi Community Slack or GitHub.
