Pulumi Community

Hey folks!

We have just shipped the preview of Automation API for Python! Running your Pulumi program is now as simple as running `python my_file.py` Check out the <https://www.pulumi.com/blog/automation-api-python/|blog post> to learn more.

*Examples*

We have a number of examples ready for you to take for a spin over in the <https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples#python-examples|examples repo>, and we’d love to see your contributions for how you are using automation API in your projects.

• <https://github.com/pulumi/automation-api-examples/tree/main/python/pulumi_via_jupyter|Pulumi w/ Jupyter Notebook>
*Try it out!*

The Automation API still requires a Pulumi CLI installation. You’ll need a <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/get-started/install/versions/|CLI version> &gt;= v2.9.2 and &gt;=v2.17.1 of the <https://pypi.org/project/pulumi/|pulumi package>.

We’d love to hear your feedback as you start using Automation API in your own projects. We have a <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aarea%2Fautomation-api+sort%3Aupdated-desc|list of known issues> and we encourage you to leave notes and open more issues as you come across them.
