Welcome to the third post in our IDP Best Practices series, where we explore how to implement policy as code with Pulumi CrossGuard to create deployment guardrails that make self-service infrastructure both powerful and safe.

Platform engineering presents a fundamental tension: we want to enable developer velocity while maintaining security and compliance. Every platform team faces the same question: how do you give teams the freedom to deploy infrastructure quickly without compromising on safety, security, or organizational standards? The answer isn’t to choose between speed and safety, but rather to embrace automated guardrails powered by policy as code that make both possible simultaneously.

Architecture diagrams are one of the most tedious aspects of infrastructure management. Teams spend countless hours manually creating and updating visual representations of their systems, only to see them become outdated the moment infrastructure changes.

Pulumi’s Infrastructure as Code has included a powerful policy engine from day one. Over the past year, we’ve been enhancing it significantly to provide stronger governance for modern cloud platforms. Until now, these capabilities were limited to our Business Critical tier. Today, we’re excited to announce that policy guardrails are now available to all Team and Enterprise customers. Alongside this, we’re launching a redesigned policy management experience and introducing out-of-the-box policy packs that make it easier than ever to secure, govern, and optimize your cloud environments—even when powered by AI agents like Pulumi Neo.

AI coding assistants have transformed the speed at which developers can write and deploy code. Pull request velocity has increased significantly. Feature delivery has accelerated beyond what we thought possible just two years ago. This should be a victory for everyone in the software organization.

Instead, it’s created significant challenges for infrastructure and platform teams.

We’re excited to share a new update to Pulumi Cloud: a redesigned left-hand navigation that makes it faster and easier to find what you need. With this update, the most common workflows are now front and center, while related features are grouped in a way that better reflects how teams actually use Pulumi Cloud every day.

This change is all about helping you spend less time clicking around and more time building, deploying, and managing your cloud infrastructure.

We’re excited to announce unified resources in Pulumi Cloud. This powerful new feature automatically consolidates resources from multiple sources into single, comprehensive views. When the same AWS S3 bucket, Azure VM, or Google Cloud database appears in both your IaC stacks and Pulumi Insights, you’ll now see one unified entry instead of duplicates cluttering your search results.

Today we’re excited to announce Azure Native Provider v3.8, featuring several enhancements that simplify authentication and extend support to private Azure environments. These updates make it easier than ever to manage Azure infrastructure using credentials provided by the hosting environment, such as in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure VM, and Azure Cloud Shell.

Sometimes infrastructure needs a clean slate. A VM with a corrupted disk, an expired certificate, or a stuck Kubernetes object. Pulumi CLI v3.192.0 introduces pulumi state taint and pulumi state untaint commands that let you mark resources for replacement—especially valuable when you have state access but restricted cloud permissions.

Building and maintaining reusable infrastructure has always been about more than just writing good code. It’s about making that code discoverable, understandable, and easy to adopt across your organization. Today, we’re excited to announce a new feature that removes significant friction from sharing and consuming infrastructure components: automatic multi-language API documentation in Pulumi Private Registry.
