We don't need to use Python only for developing applications and pipelines, we can also use it to maintain our infrastructure. Pulumi allows us to describe our infrastructure as a Python program. As this gives us access to Python's flexibility, readability, power, and joy, it has quickly become my favourite way to manage infrastructure, no matter if for a small team's ML application or for a multinational company's analytics platform. Let me share this joy with you!

In this talk I will show you how Pulumi works and what it does better than other IaC tools: Among others, I will talk about custom resources and resource grouping, state versioning and understanding your infrastructure deployment as a program to be run.

Caution: This talk may lead to strong feelings of "why haven't we always done it like this?"
