Another possibility is implementing a pulumi provider for whatever CI backend so that you could manage it with pulumi If there s an existing terraform provider it s fairly easy to generate a pulumi one from that

I just think that Pulumi covering CI CD is the next logical step I have my stacks ready to be automated why not have a pulumi program that takes trigger A update pulumi stack etc

a ci pulumi program would be awesome sauce since I could reference the other stacks and trigger updates pulumi up based on conditions like what trigger do I have

flat-guitar-86436 · Answer

this would be soooo awesome to write in a normal language

in over 7 years of workin in IT my most miserable moments have been configuring the goddamn CI

bitter-dentist-28132 · Answer

by CI sequence i guess you mean running all the stacks one after the other

flat-guitar-86436 · Answer

I mean like the CI we know 1 trigger happens git or manual 2 depending on condition what branch what trigger run whatever you need including pulumi up on pulumi programs that needs to be updated
