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]–previously only available for TypeScript–in all four Pulumi languages: TypeScript, Python, .NET,
|
||
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.
