Case Study: BMW achieves unified infrastructure management with Pulumi

BMW Mission Critical Platforms Require Pulumi

BMW’s Software Factory used Pulumi to tackle the complexity of managing infrastructure and applications separately as its software-defined vehicle platform scaled. With more than 20,000 cloud resources across multiple stacks, BMW needed a way to unify provisioning, deployment, security, and compliance while fitting into existing CI/CD workflows.

Pulumi provided a Python-based infrastructure-as-code approach that consolidated earlier tools like Ansible, Terraform, and Helm into a single workflow for managing both Kubernetes clusters and deployed applications. The result was a unified, programmable platform for BMW that simplified operations, supported policy-based governance, and enabled management of 20,000+ cloud resources at enterprise scale.
