Pulumi's latest release introduces a suite of significant enhancements aimed at revolutionizing cloud infrastructure management with features like the AI-powered Pulumi Copilot, which leverages large language models to simplify cloud operations, and new robust infrastructure lifecycle management tools such as Drift Detection and Remediation, Time-to-Live Stacks, and Scheduled Deployments. Pulumi has also enhanced its Environments, Secrets, and Configuration (ESC) management with new versioning capabilities, SDKs for multiple programming languages, and a Pulumi Service Provider for managing environments through IaC. Additionally, Pulumi now supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) Trust Relationships for secure integration, offers the ability to run any TypeScript version, and introduces a next-generation Docker Build provider for modernizing Docker image builds. Enhancements to the New Project Wizard and the introduction of a new Helm Chart v4 resource in the Pulumi Kubernetes provider further streamline cloud operations, while the addition of numerous new resources and functions expands Pulumi's ecosystem. These updates collectively aim to enhance efficiency, control, and security in managing modern cloud infrastructure and applications.
