preevy VS Pulumi

Feel free to star the Preevy repo here.

We at Livecycle, a Docker-centric company, are super excited to share some highlights from the event and discuss how we are developing our products, Livecycle Docker Extension and Preevy, to improve collaboration, feedback, etc., in the vision that Docker is moving with their recent development and announcement at DockerCon.

To learn more about how to use Preevy, just check out the docs site.

Historically, many developers have preferred to facilitate this type of collaboration with ephemeral preview environments that are triggered with every PR or commit. And indeed, we have built robust solutions like “Preevy” to facilitate the creation of these environments for dockerized applications on any cloud or Kubernetes cluster.

Preevy also integrates into your CI pipeline to convert your pull requests into easily shareable ephemeral environments

My typical day is filled with a couple of meetings, building the Lifecycle community on Slack, collaborating with projects and people, and creating strategies and content (videos, blogs, short forms for Twitter and LinkedIn) around the product to increase adoption. I heavily focus on the company’s Open Source offering called Preevy which helps create a preview environment using Docker Compose underneath.

Also, at Livecycle, we are building Preevy, which helps you create a preview environment for Docker Compose applications. Do check out https://github.com/livecycle/preevy. It's open source, and don't forget to leave a star to show your support.

About “Preevy” - an open source tool that simplifies the creation of preview environments

If you are following this blog series, you should already know the benefits of using Terraform to define and deploy your AWS resources and configuration. Other IaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Pulumi work the same way but differs in the programming or configuration language.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an important part of any true hosting operation in the public cloud. Each of these platforms has their own IaC solution, e.g. AWS CloudFormation. But they also support popular open-source IaC tools like Pulumi or Terraform. A category of tools that also needs to be discussed is API gateways and other app-specific load balancers. There are applications for internal consumption, which can be called microservices if you have a lot of them. And often microservices use advanced networking options such as a service mesh instead of just the native private network offered by a VPC.

funny, to me systemd == no docker, no containers, just a VM.

it's my goto way to keep my programming running and have it be restarted if the vm reboots. I use VMs like "pods". I deploy code directly to the VM and run it there along with other programs. I scale up an scale down with: https://www.pulumi.com/

Pulumi — Modern infrastructure as a code platform that allows you to use familiar programming languages and tools to build, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure.

A move like this may have an impact in other open source projects. Take Pulumi, for instance, people might avoid choosing it now that the Linux Foundation have its own IaC tool, and for newer, smaller projects it will probably be impossible to compete with a project under the Linux name.

Another alternative to writing an operator would be to rely on kustomize or https://www.pulumi.com/.

Pulumi

Would it make sense to say Dagger is to Pulumi [1], as Terraform is to Togomak?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define your infrastructure using code (IaC) to automate the provisioning of resources such as virtual machines, load balancers, and databases. Tools like Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation can help.
