Watch @ringods use @PulumiCorp and Dagger show why imperative programming languages in our tooling are essential. Check out his demo from #CfgMgmtCamp here: ow.ly/mrw750MTAJk

Today we removed the waitlist for Pulumi Deployments! 🚀 The initial response was overwhelming. Excited to open it up to the world!
What could you accomplish if your infrastructure team could manage 10x the cloud footprint that they do today? 🌩️ Today @PulumiCorp is launching Pulumi Deployments: the cloud-scale toolkit that will let you find out. 🚀🚀🚀 pulumi.com/blog/pulumi-deplo…

"They did it in Superman 3," is my go-to description of consumption based pricing at a fraction of a penny.

Try @PulumiCorp. It supports a number of language ecosystems for Infrastructure and Policy as Code. Would appreciate your thoughts.
Instead of making me learn a new DSL, why can't you just provide a simple library/API that lets me describe what I want in a well-known language that already has great dev tools?

Ready for re:Invent! Since inception, this show has been a welcomed opportunity to reconnect with cloud friends, meet customers face to face, and come up with crazy cloud ideas. I look forward to seeing you at @PulumiCorp Booth 739 or a Happy Hour!

Shameless Plug: @ringods and @_ediri are @PulumiCorp CX Team's top Architects in EMEA. Their Kubecon EU talk will be great, but their advice in guiding your cloud projects is even better.
✅ Done! @ringods and I did it! Our @KubeCon_ EU 2023 CFP is submitted! Shameless plug: It will be great! 🎉 Let's hope the @CloudNativeFdn program committee will love it to! 🤞🤞🤞

Pulumi Deploy enables self service easy buttons, git-ops out of the box, and remote execution. Check out this big new feature area and try it out with a new Architecture Template.

The world had a chance to stop this insanity in 2008 when Ukraine could have been granted a NATO Membership Action Plan. The world has another chance to put an end to this insanity by accepting Ukraine’s membership application to NATO. Let’s unite for our shared peace.

Provocative question: If I don't have significant IaC in my org today, why wouldn't I choose @PulumiCorp over @HashiCorp #Terraform? (with or without CDKTF)

Fun fact, Southwest Airlines makes an extra $140m in revenue a year because staff members crack jokes. Southwest measured the 1% of flights where they made jokes and the average passenger took over 1.5x more flights/yr. Experience is everything.

Great post from @ringods explaining the Pulumi Engine, the state machine where the magic happens before your services are provisioned or updated. #Pulumi is Declarative, Imperative and Declarative. pulumi.com/blog/pulumi-is-im…

David Bowie was a genius artist and a deep thinker. In 1999, only 6 years after the birth of the worldwide web, Bowie spoke about the "unimaginable" effects of the Internet on society.
