The Agentic Infrastructure Era
Blog post from Pulumi
Pulumi has evolved its infrastructure-as-code platform to embrace the emerging era of agentic infrastructure, where AI agents play a significant role in coding and managing IT infrastructure. This transformation leverages Large Language Models (LLMs), which have proven adept at coding, to automate and enhance infrastructure tasks by mapping infrastructure space to code space. Pulumi supports numerous programming languages, allowing for the application of software engineering patterns to infrastructure management, and has developed tools to make infrastructure verifiable and auditable. By integrating with AI models like Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s Codex, Pulumi aims to increase the autonomy of agents in handling infrastructure, while maintaining crucial human oversight through robust change management and policy enforcement systems. Recent platform updates include agent-friendly features, new integrations, and a benchmark for measuring agent performance on infrastructure tasks, as Pulumi continues to push towards a fully agentic future in infrastructure management.
