The Pulumi Google Cloud Provider's latest major release, version 8.0, introduces several enhancements, including new features, updated upstream changes, and improved documentation for its open-source platform available on GitHub. Users can now benefit from an enhanced diffing strategy, fixed state upgrades in the Pulumi Terraform Bridge, and improved registry documentation accuracy. Notable new modules include App Hub Application Integration, Blockchain Node Engine, and Managed Kafka, among others. Version 8.0 adds deletion protections for specific resources and introduces a default provisioning label, "goog-pulumi-provisioned," to help users track their Pulumi-provisioned resources in the Google Cloud Platform console. A detailed migration guide is available for users transitioning from version 7 to 8.
