Take control of your cloud environment using IaC with Pulumi
summary
Argues that a whole cloud environment must be rebuildable with one command and demonstrates doing it with Pulumi (TypeScript): Azure Native and Azure AD providers plus a DNSimple provider, the random package, stack references and secrets. Shows creating a service principal, provisioning a Resource Group (demo spun up 10 similar groups from an array), uploading a static website to blob storage, wiring DNS and producing separate dev/test stacks. Deployment mostly succeeds; DNS propagation needs a short manual wait.
