Pulumi for Platform Teams: New Features for Developer Portals, Policy and Deployments

Pulumi has witnessed increased adoption by platform teams over the past two years, leading to the introduction of new features in Pulumi Cloud to enhance the entire lifecycle of cloud delivery. These include the launch of developer portals to expose reusable cloud infrastructure components, integration with Backstage via a new Pulumi plugin, and the introduction of organization templates and a new project wizard for easier infrastructure deployment. Pulumi has also expanded its CrossGuard policy-as-code framework with compliance-ready and remediation policies to enforce and automatically rectify compliance standards across various cloud providers. Additionally, Pulumi Deployments has moved to general availability, offering a unified view of deployments, integration with GitHub Enterprise, and plans for self-hosted deployment agents to cater to unique compliance or security needs. These enhancements aim to empower platform teams by providing robust infrastructure management, policy enforcement, and seamless deployment capabilities within Pulumi Cloud.
