pulumi-gcp
A Pulumi package for creating and managing Google Cloud Platform resources.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are already using Pulumi and need to manage GCP resources from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license. Install friction is low. However, you must have the Pulumi CLI installed and GCP credentials configured separately—this is not a standalone GCP client library.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Pulumi CLI must be installed separately and GCP credentials must be configured before deployment.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel.
- Actively maintained with a release 2 days old.

What it is and what it does
Pulumi-gcp is a Python package that bridges the Pulumi infrastructure-as-code framework with Google Cloud Platform resources. It provides a programmatic interface to define and manage GCP infrastructure using Python code instead of YAML or JSON templates. The package works in tandem with the Pulumi CLI, which orchestrates the actual deployment and state management.
You write Python code that instantiates GCP resource objects, define their configuration and dependencies, and then use Pulumi's CLI to preview and deploy those resources to your GCP projects. The package requires Python 3.9 or later and depends on pulumi, parver, semver, and typing-extensions for runtime support.
Use it for
- Define multi-tier GCP infrastructure in a single Python program with full version control
- Automate repeatable deployments of GCP resources across development, staging, and production environments
- Manage GCP resources alongside application code, enabling infrastructure and app logic to evolve together
- Build reusable Python modules that encapsulate common GCP architecture patterns for team standardization
- Integrate GCP infrastructure provisioning into CI/CD pipelines for automated cloud deployments
