Pulumi announced that SANS Institute is using the Pulumi Cloud Engineering Platform to streamline the delivery of applications and infrastructure, increasing the speed of delivery by 3X. Pulumi enabled SANS to adopt cloud engineering best practices so that it could reduce deployment times, simplify its cloud architectures and ultimately create a better experience for end customers.

SANS now delivers cloud infrastructure using TypeScript and GitOps workflows, allowing it to use the power of modern languages and software engineering to deploy and configure infrastructure through a single platform.

With an "Automate everything" attitude, the SANS DevOps team needed a platform that would enable it to adopt cloud engineering practices such as building infrastructure as code in popular languages, deploying infrastructure and applications through continuous integration/continuous deployment pipelines using GitFlow, and ensuring that SANS developers use consistent processes from development to production.

The game server service can automatically deploy, configure and destroy approved infrastructure with best practices baked-in from SANS security and operations teams, eliminating the need for a manual ticketing process.

"The Pulumi Automation API made deploying our applications and their infrastructure a much cleaner process," said Tyler Mulligan, Senior DevOps Engineer at SANS. "With a standard programming language, we can take advantage of other products in the ecosystem, such as Prettier and ESLint. Pulumi has greatly simplified the SANS Labs architecture and created a better user experience for SANS Labs instructors and students. Now, instructors can more easily and quickly provision virtual environments."

"Innovative organizations like SANS Institute are constantly raising the bar on engineering excellence by adopting cloud engineering practices like building cloud infrastructure with programming languages and delivering it through the same deployment pipelines as the application code," said Aaron Kao, vice president of marketing at Pulumi.
