Introduction

In today’s cloud-driven world, managing infrastructure through code has become an essential skill for developers and DevOps professionals. Pulumi is a modern Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platform that allows you to define, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure using familiar programming languages like TypeScript, Python, and Go—instead of YAML or JSON templates.
This course focuses on Pulumi with TypeScript, empowering you to use real programming constructs such as loops, conditionals, and reusable components to manage infrastructure efficiently and securely. You’ll learn how to automate cloud resource provisioning, integrate with CI/CD pipelines, and scale applications across multi-cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to confidently write and manage infrastructure code using TypeScript and Pulumi to build reliable, maintainable, and scalable cloud systems.

Prerequisites

Before starting this course, learners should have:

• Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts (e.g., AWS, Azure, or GCP basics)

• Working knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript

• Familiarity with command-line interfaces (CLI)

• (Optional) Experience with IaC tools like Terraform or AWS CloudFormation is beneficial but not required
  Tools required:

• Node.js and npm installed

• Pulumi CLI installed

• Cloud provider account (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

• Code editor (Visual Studio Code recommended)
