We're excited to partner with Pulumi for a new DEV challenge focused on Infrastructure as Code!
Running through April 06, the Pulumi Deploy and Document Challenge invites you to build and document cloud infrastructure projects using Pulumi's powerful tools. With three prompts to choose from, you'll have three chances to win and the opportunity to showcase your cloud engineering skills.
Whether you're a seasoned cloud engineer or just getting started, this challenge offers something for everyone. We hope you give it a try!
Read on for the prompts.
Our Prompts

Your submission will be judged primarily on the quality of your documentation (DEV submission post and repository README) but we expect the core functionality of your project to work as well.

I just want to confirm whether updating content after the deadline would disqualify from the competition? my article has received some overwhelming response and I want to extend it to make it even more comprehensive by incorporating how the same app can be deployed in GCP and MS Azure. If it's not recommended until the decision of the competition, I can wait until the winners are announced.
Thank you.
Hi @mohamednizzad, you can incorporate those updates in the comment section of your submission or share them as separate post. However, please do not update the body content of your submission until after the winners have been announced.
Thank you for clarifying. I will wait until winners announcement.
Good luck everyone!
It's quite interesting and I hope to make a submission. Thank you for hosting this Challenge
