Scheduled Deployments for Pulumi Cloud have been introduced to automate cloud management by allowing users to schedule deployments and deactivations of resources according to customizable timelines. This feature, available on the Enterprise and Business Critical editions, is designed to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure that resources are deployed precisely when needed. It integrates seamlessly with existing Pulumi Deployments, respecting operational parameters and concurrency limits. Users can define schedules using cron expressions via the Pulumi Cloud console, REST API, or Pulumi Service Provider, enabling precise control over deployment timing and resource utilization. Alongside this, Pulumi has also introduced Drift Detection and Remediation and Time-to-Live Stacks, all built on the new Scheduled Deployments functionality, to further streamline and automate cloud operations.
