Cloud Engineering	Apply software engineering practices and tools across infrastructure, development, and compliance teams to tame the complexity of modern cloud applications.	page	cloud-engineering	title description Software engineering practices made for the cloud Apply standard software engineering practices and tools uniformly across infrastructure, development, and compliance teams to tame the complexity of delivering and managing modern cloud applications.	title description Best practices Cloud Engineering teams build, deploy, and manage modern cloud applications and [infrastructure as software](/what-is/what-is-infrastructure-as-software/) written in general purpose languages, including the application logic, cloud infrastructure, and cloud policies.	title description items Build Cloud engineers use cloud resources to build shared services platforms and reusable infrastructure components. title description General-Purpose Programming Languages Define infrastructure with general-purpose programming languages like TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go, .NET, and Java and use standard constructs like loops and conditionals. This gives you more flexibility and reduces complexity compared to domain-specific languages. You could also use markup languages like YAML as a simple way for consuming complex infrastructure modeled in general-purpose languages. title description Broad Development Ecosystem Use programming languages and modern software development tools to increase speed and quality. For example, developers can use IDEs, test frameworks, and package managers to build infrastructure. title description Modern Application Development Experience Build modern architectures (such as Kubernetes or serverless) on multiple clouds using a streamlined, more productive workflow and toolset instead of stitching together multiple deployment tools and Bash scripts. title description Share and Reuse Best Practices Build higher-level frameworks and custom platforms for cloud infrastructure that codify your best practices. Share these best practices within your company or with the community.	title description items Deploy Cloud engineers deliver both infrastructure and application code through a unified process that increases efficiency and quality. title description Unified Infrastructure & Application CI/CD Pipeline Deliver infrastructure and application code through a single CI/CD pipeline rather than separate pipelines for each. This streamlines versioning, building, testing, and deploying cloud applications. title description Test Frameworks for Infrastructure Run unit and integration tests to validate infrastructure changes before deploying them to production. This encourages a test-driven development approach that reduces errors and increases deployment confidence. title description Advanced Deployment Automation Orchestrate automated deployments by programming them within application code. This enables programmatically deploying infrastructure with APIs instead of using a CLI-driven workflow. title description End-to-End Change History All application and infrastructure changes are tracked with a complete history of who changed what and when. Maintain fine-grained diffs and set up the ability to easily roll back changes, if needed.	title description items Manage Cloud engineers manage their cloud infrastructure and applications with Policy-as-Code, access controls, and auditing histories. title description Policy-as-Code Define Policy-as-Code to proactively enforce compliance across your infrastructure and correct configuration drift. You can write rules that check for security, cost, reliability, best practices, and more. title description Auditing and Access Controls Create visibility across your infrastructure using audit logs and viewing diffs for cloud resource changes, just like in Git. Set fine-grained controls on who can access and change infrastructure within your organization. title description Team-wide Visibility Ensure that your entire team (both infrastructure and developer roles) has visibility across cloud applications, including what resources exist and which changes have been made. This builds better collaboration for all.	title items Benefits of<br />Cloud Engineering title icon icon_color description Unlock the potential of the modern cloud lock purple Modern cloud architectures, such as Kubernetes, have high innovation potential but are complicated to adopt. Cloud engineering empowers teams to tame this complexity with software engineering practices and tools. title icon icon_color description Increase innovation velocity and agility lightning yellow Cloud engineering democratizes the cloud for developers. By using reusable infrastructure components written in programming languages, developers can more easily use the infrastructure they need to build applications faster. title icon icon_color description Decrease infrastructure risks alert salmon Cloud engineering “shifts risk left” through frequent testing. Every change is reviewed and tested before deployment. Policy-as-Code enforces compliance across every deployment, and access controls prevent unauthorized changes. title icon icon_color description Foster closer collaboration collab blue Cloud engineering breaks down silos between infrastructure, application development, and compliance teams through shared languages, tools, and processes. This increases collaboration and efficiency by removing process friction.	title description cta_text items Use cases Learn more about the solutions that are enabled by cloud engineering.

The way Pulumi solves the multi-cloud problem is exactly what I was looking for. company link name title quote credijusto case-studies/credijusto/ Fernando Carlietti Lead DevOps Engineer, Credijusto Once you use a familiar programming language to tackle a problem, you see that you can do way more in less time. Pulumi was a natural choice based on the background and skills of our people in DevOps. company link name title quote lemonade case-studies/lemonade/ Igor Shapiro Principal Engineer at Lemonade Pulumi’s Automation API helps us to build on existing best practices and further automate our deployment process — eliminating manual tasks and exception handling. company link name title quote hyland case-studies/learning-machine/ Pulumi is the foundational technology that allowed us to transform our organization…Our industry moves with incredible speed and using tools like Pulumi are absolutely essential to providing teams with the agility that they require. company link name title quote menta case-studies/menta-network/ Ernesto Mendoza CTO at Menta Network At Menta Network we have a lot of experience with Ansible and Puppet but wanted to shift to more modern tools to manage our infrastructure. We tried Terraform but found that Pulumi was far easier to use given its Python support. Ultimately, Pulumi is just as robust as Terraform and has the added benefit of reducing the complexity of managing many configurations and environments. company link name title quote sourcegraph case-studies/sourcegraph/ Beyang Liu Sourcegraph CTO Pulumi has changed how our team works by giving us deployment superpowers. It’s great to run ‘pulumi up’ and not have to worry about deploying an invalid configuration. company link name title quote fenergo Keith Redmond VP of SaaS Engineering, Fenergo Pulumi improved our time-to-market by removing cloud infrastructure as a roadblock to business innovation. Our developers rely on Pulumi’s Universal Infrastructure as Code and software engineering approach to build modern cloud applications, including the underlying infrastructure, using programming languages they understand. This has resulted in faster software delivery, closer collaboration and higher-quality deployments. Every developer is now empowered to move faster and spend more time on developing things that matter to our customers, which drives a competitive advantage for Fenergo.	title cta_text description Get started with Cloud Engineering Get Started Pulumi is a cloud engineering platform that brings infrastructure, application development, and compliance teams together through a unified software engineering process to deliver and manage modern cloud applications
