Streamlining SaaS Configuration and Automation with Pulumi ESC, SailPoint Atlas, and NetSuite
Taming Configuration Sprawl with Pulumi ESC
Pulumi is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) leader that recently announced its new solution - Pulumi Environment Secrets Configurations (ESC). This tool aims to manage environments, secrets, and configurations for cloud infrastructure applications.
Centralized Cloud Application Management
The primary goal of Pulumi ESC is to provide organizations with a centralized way to define and scale their cloud applications. The platform ensures that there are no leaks of secrets or unnecessary proliferation of credentials across developer desktops. It achieves this by enabling developers to define reusable environments that combine secrets from multiple sources, including Pulumi IaC, AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, Google Cloud KMS, OpenID Connect (OIDC) Relying Parties, 1Password, and HashiCorp Vault.
Simplifying Complex Environments
Modern cloud applications are dynamic and rely on a multitude of configurations. These include network settings, deployment options, API keys and other important secrets like database credentials. Managing these at scale can lead to sprawl and lack of visibility. Pulumi ESC addresses this issue by providing a simple and secure way to manage environments.

NetSuite: Harnessing Generative AI for Field Service Management
NetSuite has made several announcements at its annual SuiteWorld conference including advancements in generative AI, Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), Field Service Management (FSM) based on recent acquisitions, among others.
Leveraging Generative AI Capabilities
NetSuite's new generative AI capabilities use technology built into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure on which NetSuite now runs. These capabilities offer automated creation and editing of draft content grounded in NetSuite data across various use cases such as collection letters, report summaries and narratives, emails to suppliers and customers etc.
Introducing Field Service Management
The addition of field service management (FSM) follows from NetSuite's acquisition of partner Next Technik last month. Its FSM product Next Service simplifies scheduling dispatches while providing automated inventory and customer asset management, and better visibility into real-time data.
