Pulumi Enterprise Edition
Managing multi‑cloud infrastructure has become efficient while documentation and community still improve
What is our primary use case?
I use Pulumi Enterprise to manage infrastructure, specifically cloud-based infrastructure. I manage infrastructure, SSO and security, create infrastructure and secure it, manage identity and access, and manage configuration in cloud or multi-cloud environments.
What is most valuable?
The best features of Pulumi Enterprise include state management, which involves tracking and keeping track of the infrastructure. State management helps my workflow and solves problems for me by ensuring my infrastructure data is in sync.
Pulumi Enterprise increases efficiency and reliability by providing seamless automation processes and tools while considering security and making secure infrastructure easy. Pulumi Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by making automation seamless and efficient.
For efficiency, it helps in managing multiple infrastructures because once I write my code, I can reuse it for different projects.
What needs improvement?
Pulumi Enterprise could accept more automation, such as creating workflows or frameworks for platforms like YouTube and Spotify. Additionally, it should allow for creating resources on the cloud console with less friction.
I would like the documentation feature to enable me to download the documents of my infrastructure from Pulumi Enterprise once it is written. I do not want to have to rewrite documentation after coding; once my infrastructure is written with Pulumi Enterprise, I should be able to get the documentation seamlessly.
There should be more investment in building a stronger community around Pulumi Enterprise, as the Pulumi Enterprise community is not that strong compared to its capabilities.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Pulumi Enterprise for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Pulumi Enterprise is stable. However, there are still many improvements that can be made.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Pulumi Enterprise's scalability scales easily and efficiently, thanks to its modularity and the options it provides, along with the opportunity to reuse code for different projects.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support is present, and so far, I have not had any cause for alarm. My experience has been fair.
On a scale of one to ten, I rate customer support a three because I have not needed to consult them much at all.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
What was our ROI?
Pulumi Enterprise saves time when creating infrastructure, as once I create it once, I can reuse what I have written before. It saves time and also reduces the need for more hires in terms of manpower.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing is that it is fair; there is not much stress regarding that, but I still believe improvements can be made.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Pulumi Enterprise, I evaluated other options, including Terraform and Ansible.
What other advice do I have?
Regarding integrations with other tools, I use Pulumi Enterprise for multi-cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, GCP, and others.
I purchased Pulumi Enterprise through the AWS marketplace.
My advice for others looking into using Pulumi Enterprise is that the onboarding process from other solutions like Terraform is seamless and not stressful, as it is basically the same. Additionally, the opportunity it gives to write infrastructure in any programming language is significant.
I rate this product a seven point five out of ten.
Managing cloud stacks and monitoring deployments has improved multi-environment control
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Pulumi Enterprise is managing and running infrastructures across my projects, specifically cloud infrastructure.
For example, my product, Resume AI, has multiple stacks, and I use Pulumi Enterprise to check my deployments to ensure that everything is running smoothly and to add members to the group so that they can monitor their deployments as well.
What is most valuable?
The best features Pulumi Enterprise offers include checking out the deployment, running, creating the stack, managing my stack, and access keys.
Out of those features, the deployment check stands out the most for me because it allows me to debug my environment.
Pulumi Enterprise positively impacts my organization as it enables us to manage stacks across different environments.
What needs improvement?
I have not yet understood how the pricing model works, and I would appreciate a clearer and more precise explanation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Pulumi Enterprise for two years.
How are customer service and support?
I have not yet used the AI capabilities of Pulumi Enterprise, and I do not see how I would use that.
What was our ROI?
I have not seen any specific outcome or benefit that I have measured so far, such as saving time, reducing errors, or helping my team in a measurable way.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not purchase Pulumi Enterprise through the AWS Marketplace.
What other advice do I have?
My advice for others looking into using Pulumi Enterprise is to pursue it. I gave this review a rating of 9.
Great product
Cool
What's more the secret as code is made possible and it's safer than SOPS. (It's harder to make mistakes than with SOPS).
The Pulumi helped us prevent that and forced us always to push the secret as encrypted.
Also it's hard to TDD the IaC code, with Pulumi, it's possible!
Automation API connects Programming Languages with a Streamlined Interface for Multi-Cloud
- Multi Language Support
- Automation API
- State Management
Amazing SDK. I just love it
A new approach for Infra-As-Code, much more closer to "as-code" than yaml oriented tools
Being able to use my favorite langage to manage my infrastructure is really useful.
Onboarding to Pulumi is made easy thank to the complete documentation and a large community to answer any question
But thanks to the great community it's improving very fast
It's really easier for dev team to onboard and work with Pulumi to manage their infrastructure
I'm a Pulumi employee now, but I was a Pulumi user first
Pulumi offers built-in Dynamic Resource providers which helps with custom RDS cluster deployments
* For our infrastructure testing requirements, it provides seamless testing, modularization and CI/CD integrations for our deployments.
* Since Pulumi keeps the metadata of our infrastructure, its easy to manage our cloud resources & we make use of its CLI to create/update/delete the stack state.
* There are no security concerns while running commands through its CLI, Pulumi doesn't store any of our cloud credentials. All configurations & secrets are encrypted by our encryption provider.
* We can easily validate our applications & infrastructure through any native testing frameworks.
* Pulumi Packages promotes reusability of our IaC scripts which saves us a lot of time. Each component is production-ready so we don't have to spend much time on configurations.
* Overall, we are satisfied with the services offered by Pulumi for our cloud infrastructure modularization & deployments.
* It offers more flexibility to configure our infrastructure for deployments & the event-based triggers which will update our stacks periodically.
* We utilize its built-in dynamic resource providers to incorporate arbitrary code straight into our Amazon RDS cluster deployment process.
* Further, we can seamlessly integrate various monitoring & observability tools such as Dynatrace, Grafana and Prometheus to gain accurate insights, carry out periodic health checks and keep track of performance & utilization of our cloud resources.
