Pulumi FAQ

Common questions about Pulumi, answered from independent, dated evidence.

What is Pulumi?

A platform for defining and managing cloud infrastructure using TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, Java, or HCL instead of domain-specific languages, with built-in policy enforcement, compliance tracking, and AI-powered resource discovery. It is indexed under Infrastructure as Code Tools.

Source: https://www.pulumi.com/blog/pricing-calculator-blog/

Is Pulumi free to use?

Pulumi is open source, so it can be self-hosted and used at no licence cost. It is released under the Apache-2.0 licence. Paid editions are also offered: Team Edition, Enterprise and Business Critical, priced on request. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.

Source: https://www.pulumi.com/blog/pricing-calculator-blog/

What platforms does Pulumi support?

Pulumi supports the web and a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.

Source: https://www.pulumi.com/blog/pricing-calculator-blog/

Can Pulumi be self-hosted?

Yes. Pulumi can be deployed cloud / SaaS, on-premise, air-gapped and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.

Source: https://www.pulumi.com/blog/pricing-calculator-blog/

What does Pulumi integrate with?

We have confirmed 12 integrations for Pulumi, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, GitHub and Slack, plus 4 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.

Source: https://www.pulumi.com/blog/pricing-calculator-blog/

What security certifications does Pulumi have?

We have independently confirmed SOC 2 for Pulumi. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Pulumi not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

Source: https://www.pulumi.com/tutorials/eval-compliance-terraform/

Is Pulumi open source?

Yes. Pulumi is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, a permissive licence that generally allows commercial use and modification. Licence terms can change between releases, so verify against the repository for the version you intend to use.

Source: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi

Where is Pulumi available?

Pulumi is available worldwide. Its primary market is the United States.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence

Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Pulumi, not the verdict.
