**Topic 1 - **Welcome to the show. It’s been a while since Pulumi was last on the show (2019), so give us an update on how things are growing.  

**Topic 2 - **There’s been a lot of change in the IaC market over the last few years - Ansible/IBM, Hashicorp/IPO, Chef/Puppet went to Private Equity, VMware bought Salt - Why do you think we’ve seen so much change in the market in such a short period of time?

**Topic 3 - **With more companies using the public cloud, and multiple clouds, what does Infrastructure-as-Code look like these days? Are there a new set of challenges to be solved?

**Topic 4 - **Pulumi has a development model that sort of straddles between IaC and applications. How does it get used in actual customer environments? Has it surprised you how it’s used by customers? 

**Topic 5 - What are some of the new ways in which Pulumi can take advantage of new cloud capabilities, or new trends you’re seeing from your customers? **

**Topic 6 - **If someone was using a different IaC tool before, are there easy ways to migrate to Pulumi, or is there a steep learning curve?
