Use the latest AWS innovations with the new AWS Cloud Control provider for Pulumi

We are pleased to announce the general availability of the AWS Cloud Control provider for Pulumi, an modern infrastructure management platform, which allows our customers to adopt AWS innovations faster than ever before. AWS has consistently expanded its range of services to support any cloud workload, supporting over 200 fully featured services and introducing more than 3,400 significant new features in 2024. This growth meant that Pulumi customers needed to wait for the community to add support for the new service or feature in the standard Pulumi’s AWS Provider. The AWS Cloud Control provider offers Day 1 support for new AWS capabilities, allowing customers to accelerate time-to-market by building cloud infrastructure with the latest AWS innovations using Pulumi. Customers can now use the AWS Cloud Control provider in Pulumi to adopt best practices to provision and manage new AWS capabilities at scale.

The AWS Cloud Control provider leverages AWS Cloud Control API to automatically generate support for hundreds of AWS resource types, such as Amazon EC2 instances and Amazon S3 buckets. Since this provider is automatically generated, new features and services on AWS can be supported as soon as they are available in the AWS Cloud Control API, complementing capabilities that might not be immediately available in the standard provider. Today, the AWS Cloud Control provider supports 1,000+ AWS resources and data sources, with more support being added as AWS continues to adopt the Cloud Control API standard. At launch, the AWS Cloud Control provider supports 550+ AWS capabilities which are not available in the Pulumi’s standard AWS provider, such as Amazon Q Business and Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra).

The AWS Cloud Control provider is now generally available and can be used by customers to access newly launched AWS features and services using Pulumi. We plan to continue to add support for more resources and improve our user guide. You can start using this new provider alongside your existing AWS standard provider. To learn more about the AWS Cloud Control provider, please check the provider documentation. For more examples, or if you run into any issues with the new provider, please don’t hesitate to submit your issue in the Pulumi AWS CC provider GitHub repository.
