Pulumi Automation Api

If you're tired of chaining together pulumi CLI commands with bash scripts or need to orchestrate multiple stacks programmatically, this skill covers Automation API patterns. It walks through the LocalWorkspace API, inline vs local source programs, and practical multi-stack orchestration including sequential deploys, parallel operations, and passing outputs between stacks. The choice between inline and local source is well explained: inline for single-team ownership and simpler artifacts, local for separating concerns between platform and app teams. Good coverage of error handling, configuration management, and when not to bother with this complexity. Most useful if you're building self-service infrastructure portals or need reliable sequencing across dependent infrastructure layers.
