Pulumi Copilot Chat Extension for Visual Studio Code

The extension for chatting with Pulumi Copilot using Copilot Chat in Visual Studio Code.

Pulumi Copilot is an AI-powered conversational assistant that seamlessly integrates with Pulumi Cloud, helping users:

• Explore and manage cloud infrastructure
• Gain insights into resources, policies, and deployments
• Troubleshoot errors and optimize configurations
• Author and deploy Pulumi IaC more effectively

This extension brings Pulumi Copilot into your IDE to:

• Suggest infrastructure code based on a natural language prompt like "create an AKS cluster in the East US region."
• Answer questions about infrastructure managed by Pulumi like "what is my oldest MySQL DB?" and "has this code been deployed?"
• Translate infrastructure code from other tools (YAML, HCL, JSON, bicep) into programming languages (TypeScript, .NET, Java, Python, Golang)

Note: this extension is in public beta. If you have suggestions for features or find bugs, please open an issue.
