Pulumi is controlled primarily using the command line interface (CLI). It works in conjunction with the Pulumi Cloud to deploy changes to your cloud apps and infrastructure. It keeps a history of who updated what in your team and when. This CLI has been designed for great inner loop productivity, in addition to continuous integration and delivery scenarios.

Installation

The Pulumi CLI is open source and free to use:

Install Pulumi
