Pulumi has announced Pulumi IDP, a new internal developer platform built on Pulumi's open source IaC platform. The developers say Pulumi IDP provides the fastest, most secure way for engineering teams to go from idea to cloud in minutes, not months. Pulumi is an open source infrastructure as code platform that supports the use of general-purpose programming languages for cloud development. Pulumi is made up of components that work together, and supports mainstream programming languages including TypeScript, Go, . NET, Python, and Java, as well as markup languages such as YAML and CUE. Pulumi IDP is built on the Pulumi platform.
Gartner forecasts that 80% of large organizations will have an internal developer platform in the next two years, and Pulumi says that many of their customers have already built their own IDPs using Pulumi's IaC platform. The new product uses lessons from hundreds of these real-world implementations as the basis of the new solution that Pulumi says helps organizations accelerate software delivery while embedding security and governance by design. The product provides customers with an alternative to having to build a custom solution while avoiding rigid, top-down solutions. Platform teams publish patterns as Component, Template, and Policy building blocks to Pulumi IDP using a private organization registry. These building blocks encapsulate reusable infrastructure best practices written in languages including TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, Java, and YAML, and form blueprints for creating new projects like applications, microservices, or clusters, with standard configurations.
Security, compliance, cost, and operational rules are then enforced for new and existing infrastructure. The registry includes built-in documentation, search, semantic versioning, and usage tracking to make it easy to discover and share patterns. Developers can then access Pulumi IDP to provision and manage cloud applications and infrastructure using these building blocks. They can do so using a complete no-code user interface, low-code YAML-based CI/CD pipelines, IaC directly in their preferred language, or a REST API with full extensibility. End users can organize their projects into services, which are logical containers of cloud infrastructure, configuration, secrets, documentation, and observability dashboards. Examples of services include a web application, microservice, Jupyter notebook, or data pipeline. Pulumi IDP includes a new advanced IAM system to enable least-privilege access, extending Pulumi's existing security foundation with custom roles and permissions, fine-grained access controls, and integration with SAML/SSO identity providers. Pulumi IDP is available as a managed SaaS solution or self-hosted for advanced compliance needs. Pulumi IDP is now available in public preview and is free for Pulumi customers and community members to use. General availability and enterprise pricing will follow later this year.
