Today we are launching Pulumi's new [Migration Hub]({{< relref "/migrate" >}}), a comprehensive guide to help you
|
|
|
|
|
seamlessly adopt Pulumi no matter where you are coming from, whether that's Terraform, CloudFormation, ... or even
|
|
|
|
|
manually provisioned resources not yet governed by an infrastructure as code solution. Our new Expert Services group is
|
|
|
|
|
ready to roll up their sleeves to help you adopt Pulumi faster. The Migration Hub also features many commercial offers
|
|
|
|
|
for open source foundations, startups, and complementary migration, to minimize switching costs and risks. It's never
|
|
|
|
|
been easier to adopt Pulumi.

## Why Pulumi?
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-08-22 09:21:25 -07:00
|
|
|
Nearly 2,000 customers and over 130,000 practitioners have chosen Pulumi for their infrastructure as code needs. About
|
2023-08-22 07:41:50 -07:00
|
|
|
half the time, these end users have an existing infrastructure as code solution that has stopped meeting their needs.
|
|
|
|
|
The other half of the time, infrastructure may have been created in the cloud console ("click-ops"), using a cloud CLI,
|
|
|
|
|
or some other manual provisioning tool, but now needs to become repeatable and scalable using infrastructure as code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most common reasons teams prefer Pulumi include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Best-in-class productivity
|
|
|
|
|
* Accessible to the entire organization, thanks to industry standard languages
|
|
|
|
|
* Ability to deal with complexity at scale, thanks to stacks, config, sharing and reuse, and more
|
|
|
|
|
* Perfect confidence thanks to policies and testing
|
2023-08-22 09:21:25 -07:00
|
|
|
* Secure by-default, with built-in support for secrets
|
2023-08-22 07:41:50 -07:00
|
|
|
* Highly programmable engine can be embedded anywhere, to build custom platforms and tools
|
|
|
|
|
* Instant collaborative bridge between developers and infrastructure experts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Pulumi, teams are able to do more with less, ship faster with confidence, tackle very challenging cloud
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure projects and scale with them, empower more of the team to be self-serve and collaborate more closely,
|
|
|
|
|
and ultimately turn the cloud into a competitive advantage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pulumi is also [true Apache 2.0 open source]({{< relref "/blog/pulumi-hearts-opensource" >}}) and we welcome anyone who
|
|
|
|
|
wishes to build atop it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Migration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of course, it's one thing to choose Pulumi, but another thing entirely to adopt it and get all of your infrastructure
|
|
|
|
|
under its management, especially if you have existing infrastructure. That might include converting existing code, or
|
|
|
|
|
even just importing existing manually provisioned cloud resources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two major approaches to this challenge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Self-Serve Migration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pulumi offers many tools and techniques should you want to perform a migration on your own.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the most general form, Pulumi provides [an import command]({{< relref "/docs/using-pulumi/adopting-pulumi/import" >}})
|
|
|
|
|
which can import any existing infrastructure no matter how it was originally created, click-ops included.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pulumi also offers conversion tools for other popular infrastructure as code solutions, including
|
|
|
|
|
[HashiCorp Terraform]({{< relref "/docs/using-pulumi/adopting-pulumi/migrating-to-pulumi/from-terraform" >}}),
|
|
|
|
|
[AWS CloudFormation]({{< relref "/docs/using-pulumi/adopting-pulumi/migrating-to-pulumi/from-aws" >}}),
|
|
|
|
|
[Azure Resource Manager (ARM)]({{< relref "/docs/using-pulumi/adopting-pulumi/migrating-to-pulumi/from-azure" >}}), or
|
|
|
|
|
[Kubernetes YAML]({{< relref "/docs/using-pulumi/adopting-pulumi/migrating-to-pulumi/from-kubernetes" >}}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although the time to migrate existing infrastructure varies wildly based on the size and complexity of your scenario,
|
|
|
|
|
migrating a single cloud environment can often take as little as a few hours. And thanks to Pulumi being multi-language
|
|
|
|
|
at its core, these tools will support you the same no matter which language you choose, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python,
|
|
|
|
|
Go, C#, Java, and YAML alike.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

### Let Us Help You Out with Expert Services!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although self-serve is an option, there can often still be uncertainty around this approach.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It may not be clear how much time a full migration will take, leaving the possibility that you'll be left with multiple
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure as code solutions -- either temporarily or even permanently. Although the tools are a huge help, they
|
|
|
|
|
don't always get you 100% of the way there. We also often hear that skilling yourself up on a one-time migration
|
|
|
|
|
activity takes away from critical time spent on business initiatives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All of this adds friction, risk, and uncertainty to the Pulumi adoption decision. The last thing we want is for the
|
|
|
|
|
one-time migration to prevent you from adopting Pulumi. Thankfully, we are here to help!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_Today we are announcing the formation of Pulumi's **Expert Services** group_. This team of industry and
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure as code experts is on standby and ready to roll up their sleeves to help you with migration,
|
|
|
|
|
training, and other services efforts. No project is too small: we are currently working with customers with
|
|
|
|
|
100KLOCs of legacy infrastructure as code that needs to be migrated, for example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_Today we are also announcing an extension to
|
|
|
|
|
[our **Terraform Migration Offer**]({{< relref "/blog/tf-migration-offer" >}})_, in which we will bundle migration of
|
|
|
|
|
your Terraform projects with your [Pulumi Enterprise or Business Critical]({{< relref "/pricing" >}}) subscription.
|
|
|
|
|
Today we are excited to announce that this same package is now available for all migration efforts, including AWS
|
|
|
|
|
CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager (ARM), ..., or even infrastructure that was manually provisioned. We are also prepared
|
|
|
|
|
to scale up from there depending on your needs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Success Stories
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Over time, Pulumi is becoming a more comprehensive platform, with new services like
|
|
|
|
|
[Pulumi Deployments]({{< relref "/blog/pulumi-deployments" >}}) for multi-cloud deployment workflows and
|
|
|
|
|
[Pulumi Insights]({{< relref "/blog/pulumi-insights" >}}) for search, analytics, and AI for your cloud infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
|
Pulumi also offers [policies]({{< relref "/crossguard" >}}) and [secrets]({{< relref "/docs/concepts/secrets" >}}) as
|
|
|
|
|
core features of the platform. [Enterprises]({{< relref "/enterprise" >}}) are increasingly betting on Pulumi for
|
|
|
|
|
their entire cloud management and platform needs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By moving to Pulumi's platform, many customers have seen considerable benefits:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_[Atlassian **significantly increased developer velocity**]({{< relref "/case-studies/atlassian" >}})_, increasing
|
|
|
|
|
productivity by more than 2X and substantially decreasing the amount of time spent on maintenance tasks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_[Mercedes-Benz **got the whole team shipping faster and with more confidence**]({{<
|
|
|
|
|
relref "/case-studies/mercedes-benz" >}})_ by building a platform that helped developers be self-serve with
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure while scaling up to 100s of Kubernetes clusters worldwide.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_[Snowflake **rapidly improved time to market**]({{< relref "/case-studies/snowflake" >}})_ by betting on Pulumi,
|
|
|
|
|
empowering their engineers, and delivering the Data Cloud. Snowflake ultimately beat their IPO deadlines and knew legacy
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure as code wouldn't do it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_[Washington Trust Bank **modernized their cloud infrastructure and practices**](
|
|
|
|
|
{{< relref "/blog/how-a-bank-modernized-its-software-engineering-with-infrastructure-as-code-automation" >}})_,
|
|
|
|
|
speeding up internal delivery, while also increasing their confidence thanks to policy as code guardrails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
_[Fauna **adopted a born in the cloud mindset**]({{< relref "/case-studies/fauna" >}})_ and was able to build a
|
|
|
|
|
multi-cloud, highly scalable, modern SaaS application, actually increasing reliability even in the face of growing
|
|
|
|
|
complexity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In each of these cases, the customer evaluated Pulumi against alternative infrastructure as code solutions, but
|
|
|
|
|
ultimately chose Pulumi due to the aforementioned benefits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
