Hi friend,

This month, we’re excited to bring you major updates across the Pulumi platform – from AI-assisted development to a faster Azure SDK and powerful new capabilities with Pulumi Components. Here’s what’s new and how you can take advantage of it.

Pulumi Components offers an intuitive, secure way to codify organizational standards.

When teams duplicate infrastructure code, inconsistencies creep in, and it becomes difficult to enforce best practices. Pulumi Components lets you create, share, and consume reusable building blocks that encapsulate best practices, ensuring that security policies and deployment patterns remain consistent across projects.

Developers can pull in platform-approved infrastructure abstractions without needing to understand every detail, and you can author components in one language and use them in another – including YAML.

Key Product Updates

• AI-Assisted Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi's Model Context Protocol Server - Integrating AI coding assistants like Cursor with Pulumi's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server can accelerate your IaC workflow, reducing context switching and improving the developer experience.
• Announcing the Next Generation of Pulumi Components - Pulumi Components makes creating, sharing, and consuming reusable infrastructure abstractions that encapsulate best practices and organizational standards easier.
• Azure Native V3: A Leaner, Faster SDK for Microsoft Azure - The next version of the Pulumi Azure Native provider features faster installation times, smaller package sizes, and an improved developer experience.
• Improved refresh and destroy experience for Pulumi IaC - The new --run-program flag allows Pulumi to execute your program before refresh and destroy operations, providing necessary context for complex workflows involving dynamic credentials or configurations.​
