Summary

Pulumi has introduced a new feature that allows users to create dynamic Stack READMEs in the Pulumi Service, which automatically update based on Stack Outputs. This enhancement enables users to document and share essential information about their cloud infrastructure stacks, such as configuration, outputs, and managed resources, while keeping everything current as changes occur. Unlike traditional source control READMEs, these Stack READMEs are dynamically populated with output variables, allowing for real-time updates and accurate links to resources like dashboards and documentation. This integration aims to streamline operational activities by consolidating critical stack information within the Pulumi Service UI, reducing the need to switch between various tools, and maintaining up-to-date documentation across development, testing, and production environments. Users can utilize README templates to reference stack outputs and resource properties, enabling them to create consistent and informative documentation that evolves with their infrastructure.
