Columbus Pulumi User Group

Platform engineers face significant challenges in managing diverse and sprawling cloud infrastructure. This workshop introduces Pulumi Insights, a powerful solution transforming how organizations understand, control, and optimize their cloud estate across multiple deployment tools and platforms.

Whether you manage a small development environment or a large multi-cloud estate, this workshop will equip you with practical strategies and tools to improve the clarity, control, and efficiency of your cloud infrastructure management.

Speakers:

• Mitch Gerdisch, Senior Solutions Architect
• Josh Kodroff, Principal Solutions Architect

Join us to learn:

• How to discover and manage legacy cloud resources deployed outside of Pulumi.
• How to identify and remediate misconfigured resources with policy as code
• How to implement a unified approach to cloud resource management that transcends traditional tool-specific limitations

Managing cloud infrastructure at scale requires robust automation and collaboration tools that seamlessly integrate with your existing development workflows.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to leverage the enhanced GitLab integration to automate infrastructure deployments, implement effective change management, and establish standardized infrastructure patterns across your organization.

Speakers:

• Matt Genelin, Solutions Architect, GitLab
• Josh Kodroff, Principal Solutions Architect

Join us to learn:

• How to configure and use Pulumi's enhanced GitLab integration features, including detailed merge request comments and organizational templates
• Techniques for standardizing infrastructure patterns across your organization using Pulumi's template gallery with GitLab repositories

Platform Engineering teams are responsible for giving developers clear, repeatable playbooks for orchestrating resilient, scalable applications. When using Temporal Cloud, managing Namespaces, Task Queues, and Worker configurations effectively is crucial to ensuring reliability and performance.

This workshop will explore how Pulumi empowers teams to define, provision, and manage Temporal Cloud resources using modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices. You’ll learn how to automate resource lifecycles, enforce policies, and integrate Temporal Cloud into platform engineering workflows, ensuring developers have a seamless and self-service experience.

Speakers:

• Yosef Ejigu, Solutions Engineer at Pulumi
• Cornelia Davis, Developer Advocate at Temporal

Join us to learn:

• IaC for Temporal Cloud: Automate the provisioning and lifecycle management of Temporal Namespaces, Task Queues, and Workers using Pulumi.
• Consistency & Compliance: Enforce governance, security, and best practices for Temporal Cloud resources across multiple environments.
• Hands-on Automation: Trigger a complex deployment cycle with Pulumi Deployments and create approval steps

In modern platform engineering, seamless observability is essential for maintaining resilient and scalable applications. This workshop will demonstrate how to leverage Pulumi to deploy and manage Honeycomb’s observability capabilities for production workloads.

We’ll explore best practices using Pulumi and Honeycomb to ensure that your workloads ship quickly with the observability you need to ensure they stay running. Participants will gain hands-on experience configuring observability in workloads and guidance in setting the SLOs that matter for your organization.

Speakers:

• Piers Karsenbarg, Solutions Architect at Pulumi
• Martin Thwaites, Principal Developer Advocate at Honeycomb

Join us to learn:

• How Honeycomb helps you detect the production issues that really matter and resolve them quickly.
• Automating “observability as code” with Pulumi + Honeycomb.
• Best practices for incorporating workload observability into your Platform Engineering practice.
