Pulumi State
Pulumi State is a component of the Pulumi infrastructure-as-code platform that manages and stores the current state of cloud resources deployed using Pulumi. It tracks resource metadata, dependencies, and configuration to enable operations like updates, deletions, and drift detection. The state can be stored locally or in remote backends such as Pulumi Cloud, AWS S3, or Azure Blob Storage for team collaboration and reliability.
Developers should use Pulumi State when managing infrastructure with Pulumi to ensure consistent and reliable deployments, especially in team environments or production systems. It is critical for tracking changes, enabling rollbacks, and detecting configuration drift, making it essential for maintaining infrastructure integrity and supporting CI/CD pipelines. Use cases include multi-developer projects, audit trails, and disaster recovery scenarios.
