Given the enormous complexity involved, orchestrating cloud infrastructure manually, even with Infrastructure as Code (IaC),<\/a> is time-consuming and tough. Enterprises often have dozens and sometimes hundreds of public cloud accounts, with new ones popping up all the time.<\/p>\n

Without a unified control plane that keeps track of application stacks across clouds and cloud accounts, achieving operational consistency, cost efficiency and resiliency becomes near impossible.<\/p>\n

Additionally, enterprises are missing out on the opportunity to learn from what worked and what didn’t work in the past, when creating new app stacks, Torsten Volk<\/a>, an analyst at Enterprise Management Associates, told The New Stack.<\/p>\n

He added, “Ideally, developers will be able to define their infrastructure requirements straight from within code functions, without having to specify the exact resources needed, while the IaC platform analyzes the new app, compares it to existing apps that are similar in character, and automatically derives the optimal infrastructure resources.”<\/p>\n

Pulumi, an IaC provider, is seeking to simplify and automate IaC for complex cloud environments (Amazon Web Services, for instance, has more than 300 infrastructure resources alone). As part of that mission, it announced new product features during its PulumiUP virtual conference<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n
