Pulumi has enhanced its integration with GitLab to improve infrastructure as code workflows, introducing new features that make managing cloud infrastructure with Pulumi and GitLab more seamless. Key improvements include GitLab as a first-class version control system in Pulumi Cloud, enhanced merge request comments offering detailed insights into infrastructure changes, and the support of organizational templates stored in GitLab repositories. These enhancements streamline the process of visualizing infrastructure changes within merge requests and standardizing infrastructure templates across organizations. Additionally, Pulumi announced the upcoming support for Pulumi Deployments in GitLab, allowing fully automated infrastructure provisioning from GitLab pipelines. This integration aims to provide a more intuitive experience for GitLab users by adapting the Pulumi Cloud interface to show relevant options and creating a more seamless connection between GitLab and Pulumi features, such as CI/CD workflows, role-based access control, and self-service deployment functionalities, thereby fostering more effective collaboration and infrastructure management.
