https://github.com/pulumi/kubernetes-the-prod-way was the most valuable walkthrough when I started out - would be nice to see it get the attention in docs that it deserves. Granted it is more advanced, but it might be nice to have the typical short/simple samples and then contrast it to more of a flagship project.

That’s awesome to hear. Are the upgrades to bring the documentation more inline with what terraform has? At this point I basically just use terraform’s documentation for everything as it’s much easier and more well documented.

This is mostly a nit: I've found several links inside of docs and JSdocs that lead to dead links on GitHub. It looks like the path changed at some point to include /reference/

I’d like to see more best practices docs. One item I just bumped into - we export whole pulumi objects from each stack for convenience when reviewing what the config is/was in the pulumi console. Is this a bad practice? security concern?

It would be really helpful to see how one might organize a repo for large projects. The repo strategies documentation is helpful, but more detail or examples of folder structures for large projects with multiple services and custom components/resources, tests, etc. would be very enlightening.

Hey guys , was just looking for reference to generate an IAM Service Account on GCP browsing the API reference this is linked as a child object, however, when clicked comes up as a 404 https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/gcp/serviceAccount

It would be good if the GitHub repo URL that you can configure next to the description would link to the docs for the repository. For example pulumi-mysql could go to the mysql provider docs.

Another thing that would be beneficial is adding more of the docs into the typescript types. Having to look up the docs online when I could see them in place isn’t as efficient

Is there any other pulumi provider that has been written other than the pulumi-kubernetes provider? It's not the most friendly provider to get started (https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/faq/#how-can-i-add-support-for-my-favorite-cloud)

ole, there is a “bug” in this sections first code example https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/awsx/ec2/#subnets

if I may recommend something on this page https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/aws/ it states the following

This provider is a derived work of the Terraform Provider distributed under MPL 2.0. If you encounter a bug or missing feature, first check the pulumi/pulumi-aws repo; however, if that doesn't turn up anything, please consult the source terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws repo.

it would be great if it mentioned the version of terraform aws driver and pulumi, I know it says this in change log, but it would be really beneficial to show it right away in docs as it help in understanding to search in which version for bugs, and for someone coming from terraform like me its important to see how polumi maps to aws driver

I normally just fire these at Cameron Stokes when I see them, but since you have this nice slack, and a whole channel for doc feedback.... https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-awsx/tree/master/nodejs/awsx/apigateway "complete example" links to https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-awsx/blob/master/nodejs/awsx/examples/api/index.ts (404), maybe should link to https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/aws-ts-apigateway/index.ts?

A better Patrick would do a pull request...but my suggested fix may be wrong.

Hey all… a quick observation on the documentation for

pulumi up

… I don’t think it is particularly clear on how to get logging to appear. I think I expected it to appear on the console but the correct pattern is

pulumi -v=10 --logtostderr up 2> somefile.log

lemon-librarian-43470

11/13/2019, 11:28 AM

And the docs say

pulumi up [template|url] [flags]

but putting flags between

pulumi

and the command also seems to work?

lemon-librarian-43470

11/13/2019, 11:29 AM

And this page https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/cli/pulumi_up/ talks about options, but the sample command line talks about flags… yeah, both the same I guess but consistent language would be great! Thanks 👍

Why is

Vault

listed under

Cloud Providers

on https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/?

11/20/2019, 5:41 PM

On https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/vault/identity/#Group it says it’s work is derived from an invalid url. It should be

.md

but it’s

Quick question about the bots I see in the

pulumi/docs

repo. The github-actions and pulumi bots seem to be active on some pull requests, but not all. For example, they did not comment on my recent PR (https://github.com/pulumi/docs/pull/2247). I don't see anything obvious in

.github

that would explain this. In which scenarios are these bots active? Thanks.

Do you have any plans for version-aware documentation? If Pulumi already has this feature, my apologies for missing it. I find this incredibly useful, especially for emerging projects which are advancing rapidly, introducing significant new features (often independently transitioning from preview mode to GA), making selected backwards-incompatible changes, and so on. There is no substitute for direct navigation to e.g. the 1.7.1 Python SDK or 1.9.0 TS SDK, etc.

Question about the usability of the Python API reference docs. Will https://github.com/pulumi/docs/issues/1595 include providing a table-of-contents at or near the top of the page, similar to the TS/JS reference? The current state is a significant source of friction ... I end up searching the page for the resource I want to find. For example searching for "Function(" on the lambda page.

Question: Is https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/blob/master/sdk/nodejs/sns/topicSubscription.ts#L84 accurate? The docs say it should be an ARN, but the actual code looks like its using

pulumi.Output<Topic>

, not the ARN. I stumbled across this looking at this section of the lambda docs: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/aws/lambda/#usage-with-sns - the example code passes

Copy code

topic: defaultTopic.arn,

but this causes errors in my IDE (as well as at compile time)

Hi I have a question about resources managed by a pulumi project Is there a way that a project can be renamed without impacting the resources in the project or for example is there a way in which a resource inside a project can be moved or re organized to a different project

Hi all , Is the pulumi CLI exposed in SDK flavor ? or is it only cli ? Could not find anything related to this in the docs.

Very neat the new resource-oriented docs. How could you link to a section with a specific language pre-selected? For example if I want to point to a “supporting type” down below the page but with Go language selected (as example the `InstanceMetadataOptions` of an EC2-instance)?

https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/gcp/container/cluster/ vs https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/r/container_cluster.html for example is different in that TF has a recommended example and Pulumi has the default example only.
