Pulumi is one of the best infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools available today, letting you leverage different programming languages for managing your infrastructure. As with every IaC tool, you need to leverage continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to streamline the integration and deployment workflows for your infrastructure.
What is Pulumi?
Pulumi is an open-source IaC tool that allows developers to define and manage cloud infrastructure using programming languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, and .NET. It enables developers to apply familiar practices such as loops, functions, and classes to define cloud resources, and it supports a wide range of cloud providers, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, and others, facilitating the creation, deployment, and management of cloud infrastructure.
What is GitHub Actions?
GitHub Actions is a CI/CD platform that enables developers to automate their workflows directly within GitHub. With GitHub Actions, you can set up workflows to build, test, and deploy your code, based on events within your GitHub repositories, such as pull requests, merges, and even manual interventions.
Apart from defining your custom tasks, GitHub Actions leverages a vast ecosystem of reusable tasks called actions that are built and supported by the community and GitHub itself, allowing for highly customizable pipelines that can integrate with various tools and services.
