Pulumi - AI Tools Nav

What it is for

Pulumi Cloud is a hosted Resources desk: you open a stack’s resource list, and Free is $0. Use it when the job is an IaC table you start at a public $, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is Pulumi’s official Resources list (cnunciato / website-next / production, search bucket, rows aws:s3:Bucket redirect-bucket-apex / website / redirect-bucket-c) from the six-things still on Six things I love about the Pulumi Service — not a pricing card. The rows themselves are ops of Resources.

Key features

Resources — a searchable list of cloud objects on a stack (cover still; blog). One desk. Cover aws:s3:Bucket / redirect-bucket-apex sit here. List / Graph view sit here as CTAs, not a sixth desk.
Stacks — the named environment the Resources table hangs off (cover chrome website-next / production; pricing). A stack, not a bucket row. Free includes unlimited stacks.
Activity — update history next to Resources (cover tab; pricing “unlimited updates and history”). A history, not a resource cell.
Deployments — hosted CI that writes the same stack (pricing Pulumi Deployments; 500 workflow minutes on Free). A run, not a Resources row.
Insights — Resource Search / Property Search on the same org (pricing Essentials+). A search, not the cover table. Cover search-bucket is a CTA on Resources.

Watch / Graph View / List View on the cover are CTAs (not desks). Free / Essentials / Pro tiles are the meter. Pulumi Credits and $0.1825/resource-month overage are the extra meter, not a desk we fold into Resources. Neo tokens at $3/M are an AI extra.

Who it's for

Best fit: individual operators who will stay on Free at $0 (1 user) while they open a first Resources list, then Essentials at $40/month when the team needs unlimited users / Resource Search — not Pro $400 unless they need SAML / preventative policy.

Limitations / costs

Free is one user. A second seat is the $40 Essentials mark.
Resource Search is Essentials+. Free keeps the stack Resources table only.
A Resources desk, not Terraform’s state run. For that CLI/state desk see Terraform.

Alternatives

Terraform — a state / run desk when you want HashiCorp’s public $, not Pulumi’s aws:s3:Bucket list.
Docker — a Containers grid when you want Docker Personal $0, not Pulumi Cloud Free $0.
Fly.io — a hosted app when you want Fly’s public $, not a Pulumi stack table.

Official tutorial

Official PulumiTV channel video: Getting started on AWS with Python | Workshop (oEmbed author: PulumiTV). First-party getting-started workshop; the Resources still is the cover. The workshop stack is ops of Stacks / Deployments, not generate-on-Resources. We searched @Pulumi / @PulumiCorp — @PulumiCorp 404; the official handle we oEmbedded is @PulumiTV (PulumiTV RSS).
