Summary

CircleCI has introduced CircleCI Orbs, reusable components designed to simplify CI/CD workflows by allowing users to incorporate pre-existing jobs or commands. Pulumi, a technology partner of CircleCI, has developed Pulumi Orbs for CircleCI, enabling easier deployment of Pulumi projects within CircleCI environments. These Orbs facilitate more declarative CI/CD processes by eliminating the need for custom scripts, and they are available for immediate use. The Orbs can be parameterized to customize aspects such as the Pulumi client version and other settings, streamlining the integration process. Additionally, Pulumi's integration with CircleCI extends beyond Orbs, with future updates set to include build metadata association and enhanced GitHub integration, offering visibility into cloud infrastructure changes from pull requests. Pulumi continues to enhance its tools to support continuous deployment in CI/CD workflows, with community support available for any questions or issues users may encounter.
