Summary

Crosswalk for AWS, introduced by Pulumi, provides a library of components designed to streamline AWS infrastructure setup and adoption of best practices, now available in all Pulumi languages. The recent 1.0 release of its core libraries—AWSX, EKS, and AWS API Gateway—offers a stable and supported foundation to build and manage AWS-based applications, with thousands of Pulumi customers already utilizing these components. Pulumi's Crosswalk for AWS aids in configuring VPC networks, deploying containers on ECS or Fargate, setting up production-ready EKS clusters, and creating serverless architectures with AWS Lambda and API Gateway, all with minimal code. The upgrade to version 1.0 includes some breaking changes for TypeScript users, but existing functionality can be preserved by using the classic namespace. Pulumi continues to support AWS as a primary platform, offering tools for scalable and complex cloud applications. Crosswalk for AWS remains free and open source, encouraging users to start building their AWS infrastructure efficiently.
