pulumi-google-native
A native Pulumi package for creating and managing Google Cloud resources.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (last release 2023-11-29, development paused, repository archived) and carries an explicit warning that breaking changes may occur in minor releases. While it has low install friction and permissive licensing, the lack of maintenance means you will not receive updates for Google Cloud API changes, security issues, or bug fixes. Use the maintained Google Cloud Classic Provider instead, or evaluate newer alternatives.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Pulumi CLI to be installed separately and Google Cloud credentials configured (via gcloud SDK or environment variables).
- Low install friction with three lightweight runtime dependencies (parver, pulumi, semver).
- However, the package is abandoned—last release was 2023-11-29 and active development is paused.

What it is and what it does
Pulumi-google-native is a Pulumi provider that lets you define and deploy Google Cloud infrastructure using Python code. It connects directly to the Google Cloud REST API, bypassing a handwritten abstraction layer, which means it exposes the full breadth of Google Cloud services—compute, storage, container, run, and more—with strong typing and full API fidelity.
You write your infrastructure in Python using Pulumi's declarative model, and the provider translates that into Google Cloud resource creation and management. It requires the Pulumi CLI and Google Cloud credentials (typically configured via the gcloud SDK). The package is currently in abandoned status with development paused; the last release was in late 2023, and the repository is archived.
Use it for
- Provision and manage Google Compute Engine instances, networks, and storage buckets as code in Python.
- Deploy containerized applications to Google Cloud Run or GKE using infrastructure-as-code patterns.
- Automate multi-resource Google Cloud deployments (e.g., databases, load balancers, IAM roles) in a single Pulumi program.
- Version-control your Google Cloud infrastructure definition alongside application code.
- Integrate Google Cloud resource provisioning into CI/CD pipelines using Pulumi's automation API.
