Ahoy!
|
||
|
||
Today [we launched](https://info.pulumi.com/press-release/pulumi-launches-cloud-development-platform-to-help-teams-get-code-to-the-cloud-faster)
|
||
[Pulumi](/), an open source cloud development platform,
|
||
providing the cloud's first true programming model using real
|
||
programming languages.
|
||
|
||
We believe that containers, serverless, and hosted cloud services change
|
||
everything about how we design and build software and applications. All developers these
|
||
days are cloud developers. We saw a big gap in the way people want to
|
||
create this software, and how they are required to do it today with
|
||
configuration YAML and templating languages, and sought to close that
|
||
gap.
|
||
|
||
Pulumi brings all the things we know and love with programming languages
|
||
-- IDEs, abstraction, encapsulation, sharing and reuse, and more -- to
|
||
the creation of all aspects of cloud programs and applications, while retaining the full
|
||
power of immutable infrastructure across Amazon Web Services (AWS),
|
||
Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), as well as Kubernetes
|
||
running in any public, private, or hybrid cloud. An open ecosystem of
|
||
packages promises to eliminate copy-and-paste, and encourage sharing of
|
||
best practices within teams and the community.
|
||
|
||
We started on Pulumi a little over a year ago, have built an incredible
|
||
team, and I'm thrilled to announce its availability. Download or learn
|
||
more about this unique cloud development platform [here](/docs/), or read more background on Pulumi's
|
||
motivation and world-view **[over on my personal blog](https://joeduffyblog.com/2018/06/18/hello-pulumi)**.
|
||
|
||
The team can't wait to see all the incredible things you will build
|
||
using Pulumi.
