I come from AWS + CloudFormation

One thing I noticed off the bat is how Pulumi uses OAuth natively in order to authenticate to an orchestration server

I wrap my development runtime using Docker and I prefer credential files that I can mount into a Docker volume

Pulumi makes me pass in an auth token w/o conventional

~/.pulumi/credentials

or

~/.pulumi/config

like

~/.aws

has

or click on a link to a website

Also not sure how much I like the

venv/

configuration, since I ran my Docker container as a default root user to template out a PoC the file / directory permissions are different b/w host + container and it's a snag to work that out

I'm also not sure whether Pulumi can pass in env variables and output variables from the stack, I think it can I just haven't discovered it yet, but CF makes this trivial since there's a top-level keyword in the docs

Not sure how much I like the

curl -fsSL <https://get.pulumi.com> | sh

since I wanted to lock down the Pulumi version, but I think there's perf differences between curling the tarball directory and having the script do it for you

Curling the tarball URL directly was too slow to be practical imho

I really wish Pulumi would support Cloud CDN, I think this is a GCP-specific issue as GCP Deployment Manager also raises no backends with this explicitly, vs. AWS's CloudFront CloudFormation resource

Instead React.js deployment docs reference GCP App Engine which at minimum costs $18 / mo. (imho I think that's a ripoff given I'm running a blog using an S3 bucket + CloudFront for a few cents every month)

Hope it helps, I'm sure Pulumi has great things ahead and I'm looking forward to using it

hey @thankful-holiday-28161, would be great if you could thread all this awesome feedback, would make it easier to address and reduces the amount of scrollback in the channel. Some things I can provide as specific points: - the

pulumi login

command will generate a

~/.pulumi/credentials.json

, there's an example of it here: https://gist.github.com/jaxxstorm/b7672567bf76bcf64c41d8150b6afaea - unless I'm misunderstanding, you can grab env variable directly using the standard python tools, we also have configuration: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/config/ and stack references: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/organizing-stacks-projects/#inter-stack-dependencies which help with configuring user specific config - I'd love to see some numbers for your download speed/perf differences. the

curl | sh

installation method isn't my personal favourite here. We have docker containers ready to use if you need them: https://hub.docker.com/u/pulumi - not sure what your use case is, but it seems like you're doing static assets with a bucke. There's no specific endpoint for Cloud CDN as you say, but if you add a standard gcp bucket it gets cloud cdn and there's also a backend bucket type which might meet your needs: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/gcp/compute/#BackendBucket - you can specify your own venv if you like: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/languages/python/#virtual-environments hope that helps, welcome to the community!

Hi All, on my local

gcloud config list

shows my config, however in

@pulumi/gcp.config

all values are undefined. Any ideas?

When is pulumi going to upgrade to v3 officially? https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/announcing-v3-0-of-the-terraform-aws-provider/

@acceptable-stone-35112 there’s a PR that I am working on right now

We are going to be assessing it’s upgrade path

Is there any way to force an import of a resource? In my case I need to import a certain AWS SSM document that exists by default on AWS, but I need to change its content. So I need to import it and change it in one go, but Pulumi complains that it can't import the resource because the content differs.

Hey, what is the best/recommended way of mocking pulumi's

config

object? Basically, I need a lot of config vars from

yaml

mocked for mocha unit tests to function. It seems there is a requirement to convert yaml to JSON and create an env variable for this to happen? If so, that definitely needs improvement! Could someone please point me to any resources/blogs/documentation about injecting config vars into unittests (typescript)

Any guide for digitalocean container registries yet? Can't get it to work 😞

Hello, I have trouble getting a values.yaml file for Helm translated to C#. I am trying to deploy a remote chart with pulumi c# and need to set some variables. In values file it would look like this

extraEnv: |

-name: myKey

value: "myValue"

In C# I thought "|" is the beginning of a multi line string literal and it should look like this

Value = new Dictonary<string, object>

{

{"extraEnv","-name: myKey\n value: \"myValue\""}

};

But I get a parse exception error: Pulumi.ResourceException: Error: YAML parse error on keycloak/templates/statefulset.yaml: error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 83: did not find expected '-' indicator Does anyone has the same problem?

I'm creating a ComponentResource, which has parameters passed in, I have made these parameters into Input<T> so that they can be used directly in resource creation and passed to other resources etc. however it appears now that when I need to use an Input<bool> in an if statement with an "or" operator, it does not work. Should I be passing those objects into my component resource as straight bool objects, or is there a way to resolve this?

I posted this in the typescript channel last week no one has put any ideas so maybe there is a general way to do this: "Is it possible to wait in a pulumi script? I am having issues with a service principal not being replicated so I would like to wait X seconds to see if that fixes it"

Hello, is there any way to execute "pulumi up" programmatically in Python (Avoiding Popen or similar approaches)?

Hi all

do not understand how the hell I can add a cluster provider here

got a bunch of yaml file
