INSIGHT

Programmable Resources Enable Composability

Joe Duffy says Pulumi started to bridge developers and infrastructure by treating cloud resources as programmable lifecycles.
That resource-as-code foundation enabled composability and higher-level platform building.

INSIGHT

Move Up Stack For Developer Experience

The foundational IaC layers and providers are mature enough to build better developer experiences on top.
Joe believes the next big opportunity is moving up the stack to simplify cloud development for engineers.

INSIGHT

The Rise Of The "Super Cloud"

Multi-cloud is now often a mix of primary cloud plus best-of-breed SaaS and other vendors rather than identical stacks everywhere.
Joe calls this pattern a "super cloud" that stitches many specialized services together.

SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background. What made you found Pulumi and you have an extensive developer background at Microsoft as well.

Topic 2 - Pulumi’s been in the market for 6+ years and we first spoke 4 years ago. Has the IaC space “settled down”? Do you consider it still emerging, evolving, or mature at this point?

Topic 3 - We’re seeing a lot of organizations manage resources and infrastructure across multiple clouds. What are the big challenges of multiple vs. single clouds?

Topic 4 - Another big trend is of course Generative AI. You recently announced Pulumi Insights. Can you tell everyone about how this came to be and the problem you are trying to solve?

Topic 5 - Let’s talk about culture quickly. How do organizations, especially large organizations with many groups and tools, standardize tools and processes? What are the big hurdles that need to be overcome?

Topic 6 - OSS has been in the news lately, especially around the Terraform project. What are your thoughts on OSS and its place in IaC both today and going forward?

Topic 7 - We see you have a big webinar coming up. It looks to be a great place to dig in and get started. Tell everyone about it for those out there that want to know more.
