Pulumi ESC has unveiled a redesigned onboarding experience that simplifies the setup process for using it as an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider. The automated setup allows users to connect with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud seamlessly, enhancing security by eliminating hard-coded credentials and streamlining configuration management. This update aims to make the onboarding process smoother and more efficient for users.

Pulumi has launched its Identity and Access Management (IAM) capabilities, introducing granular access tokens and custom roles to enhance security in cloud development. This foundational feature aims to embed robust security directly into the cloud development lifecycle, allowing organizations to manage permissions more effectively while adhering to Zero Trust principles. The initial phase of Pulumi IAM focuses on providing fine-grained control for automation, with further enhancements planned for user role assignments and advanced authorization.
