Filter blog tags to Top 40, and add back some metadata (#350)
* Only show the top 40 blog tags
In https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-hugo/pull/215, I had suggested
that instead of physically deleting tags we didn't want to show, we
compute it algorithmically, by only showing the "Top N" tags. This
commit introduces said functionality.
This has a few advantages:
* Preserves old metadata (the authors added the tags because they
felt they were meaningful and captured information about the posts).
* Enables us to surface those tags differently in the future (who
knows, maybe someday we'll want to run a "spinnaker" campaign).
* Notably, also keeps the tag index pages, which Google has indexed.
* Enables us to add a "View More ..." link at the bottom of the
page if folks want to see the entire list.
* Perhaps most importantly, protects against future bloat. For
example, since this tag cleanup happened, we have added top-level
tags for "aliases", "app-runner", "iam", "open-source", and
"refactoring", each of which has only a single post.
I chose 40 as the N in Top N, because that's how many we show today.
I could see an argument for filtering this based on post count
instead (e.g., only those with >3 posts).
* Add back some tags
Now that we filter out unpopular tags, we can add back some of the
ones previously removed.

Pulumi's [infrastructure as code ](/what-is/what-is-infrastructure-as-code/ ) tooling combines the programming languages and tools you already know with the full power of cloud

infrastructure. But until now, some Pulumi components for cloud infrastructure, like our popular [EKS package] for Amazon's Elastic
Kubernetes Service, were only available in a subset of the languages supported by Pulumi.
Now, you can use the [EKS package]– –
and Go. Regardless of the language you choose, you can [manage EKS clusters] with Pulumi, starting with the [v0.22.0 release]. Check
out our Modern Infrastructure Wednesday video to see it in action:

### Making components available in every language
Pulumi's EKS package is made up of Pulumi components. A component is a collection of Pulumi [resources] that provides an easy way to
package best practices for using cloud resources, even if those best pratices span individual resources or even entire cloud providers.
Until now though, components could only be used in Pulumi programs written in the same language as the component.
To change that, we're creating "[multi-language components]". With multi-language components, anyone will be able to author a component
in one language and automatically compile it to all other languages supported by Pulumi. This means anyone in the worldwide Pulumi
community will be able to take advantage of any component, even if it's written in a different language. Right now, unless a component
author is willing to write code in all four Pulumi languages, their component is only able to reach Pulumi users using the same
language SDK.
In addition to expanding the library of publicly available components, this work will also enable organizations to write
Pulumi components in the right programming language, or languages, for each team and each product. Infrastructure or platform teams will
be able to write components in Go and share them with a webapp team using TypeScript, write components in .NET and share them with a
machine learning team using Python, and any other combination that suits their business.
The next step in the story is a seamless authoring experience that enables component creators to write, build, and publish multi-language
components. That will be in public preview soon, and we're excited for you to try it out. If you'd like, subscribe to the
[multi-language components] issue for updates.
