is the only way to create an azure ad application using the AzureAD provider (that is, you can’t do it with azure-nextgen?)

I'm trying to apply a bunch of k8s resources from a single file with k8s.yaml.ConfigFile(). Is there any guarantee that they are applied in order as read from the file? I'm noticing e.g. CRDs not being applied first which is causing other things to fail. Thanks.

Is there a way of knowing if Pulumi is going to destroy a resource prior to running

pulumi up

? When I run preview it simply says

update

, with no indication of what impact the update will have. My use case is that I am running on PaaS (App Service & servless in Azure) and I want to be able to run updates against the live infrastructure. In order to do this safely, I need to assess if resources will be destroyed & recreated or merely updated.

Perhaps I need to rephrase my earlier question: What are some good technique(s) for either a) ensuring resources aren't destoryed or b) warning/stopping before destroying resources?

Hey, I have an issue with cloudwatch metrics creation. I have

rds.ts

where I create an AWS RDS instance :

import * as config from "./config"
import * as iam from "./iam"
import * as secrets from "./secrets"
import * as vpc from "./vpc"

const dbSubnets = new aws.rds.SubnetGroup("dbsubnets", {
    subnetIds: vpc.vpc.privateSubnetIds,
});

let analyticsDBConf = config.services.aws.analyticsdb
export const instance = new aws.rds.Instance("analyticsdb", {
    engine: "postgres",
    engineVersion: "12.5",
    
    instanceClass: analyticsDBConf.instanceType!,
    
    name: "DBName",
    username: "DBMasterUser",
    password: secrets.analyticsdb.passsword.result,
    
    dbSubnetGroupName: dbSubnets.name,
    vpcSecurityGroupIds: [
        vpc.sgAnalyticsDB!.id
    ],
    domainIamRoleName: iam.servicesInstanceRole.name,
    
    allocatedStorage: 20,
    maxAllocatedStorage: 100,
    backupRetentionPeriod: 7,
    backupWindow: "05:18-05:48",
    skipFinalSnapshot: true,
});

Then, in

cloudwatch.ts

, I try to create cloudwatch metric alarm on the RDS instance's free disk space :

import * as analyticsdb from "./rds"
import * as sns from "./sns"
import * as config from "./config"
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws"

new aws.cloudwatch.MetricAlarm("analyticsdb-storage", {
    alarmActions: [sns.alarmsTopic],
    alarmDescription: "Monitoring space usage on analytics DB",
    comparisonOperator: "GreaterThanThreshold",
    datapointsToAlarm: 10,
    evaluationPeriods: 10,
    metricName: "FreeStorageSpace",
    namespace: "AWS/RDS",
    dimensions: {
        DBInstanceIdentifier: analyticsdb.instance.identifier
    },
    okActions: [sns.alarmsTopic],
    period: 60,
    statistic: "Maximum",
    threshold: 90,
    tags: {
        deployment: config.deploymentName,
    },
}, {
    dependsOn: [
        analyticsdb.instance
    ],
})

But when I do

pulumi up

I keep getting the following exception on preview, even though I've added an explicit dependency on the RDS instance :

TypeError: Cannot read property 'identifier' of undefined
        at Object.<anonymous> (/home/ort/work/private-cloud/cloudwatch.ts:15:52)

Did Pulumi change its search functionality on the docs site?

Does anyone know where the repo for https://github.com/joeduffy/project-cloudysky is? Related to

@flat-insurance-25294 it looks from the video to be a private repo

flat-insurance-25294

02/26/2021, 12:29 PM

Ah.

flat-insurance-25294

How would you separate the stacks between

infra

and

app

When dealing with CI while keeping one project on pulumi and one github repo?

broad-dog-22463

02/26/2021, 12:31 PM

if you are looking at using our GitHub Action, please be aware - in about 1 hour - we are publishing a new major version that has changed to be native to Actions rather than docker based

flat-insurance-25294

02/26/2021, 12:31 PM

ah I preferred docker based ones!

broad-dog-22463

02/26/2021, 12:32 PM

the docker based action will be deprecated and be in use for 6 more months

flat-insurance-25294

02/26/2021, 1:06 PM

Is there a way to run pulumi up without a stack and create it in code? LIke ephemeral stacks, the docs mentioned it but never said how

@broad-dog-22463 Does that mean that I can’t reference pulumi workflow in my own docker image? The reason is, we got our on image for running on Github actions, it runs some scripts that eventually triggers Pulumi

pulumi supports aws timestream ?

flat-insurance-25294

02/26/2021, 1:47 PM

What if I don’t use Pulumi actions, but make my own and just install pulumi CLI?

broad-dog-22463

02/26/2021, 1:53 PM

our Pulumi docker images will not be going away - just the action based on docker

Hello, I am looking into moving to Pulumi from terraform, and am wondering about accessing pulumi output values in application code. Say I want a simple server that displays the VPC the app resides in. With terraform I would create the VPC, then create the server, passing in the VPC id as an env var, and then in my application code access the env var value to display. With Pulumi, if my infrastructure code and app code were both in the same language, like say typescript, would I be able to directly import the value of the VPC id somehow? What would getting the value of that output look like, and what security would need to be set up so that only select apps could access sensitive state?

LocalWorkspace.createOrSelectStack

flat-insurance-25294

02/26/2021, 8:48 PM

Can we run that on CI to run our Pulumi stuff, and create new stacks on teh fly?

bumpy-easter-72049

02/26/2021, 9:05 PM

is there a way to have a config file that is common to a group of stacks? for example, in the parent folder of all of my stacks?

Hey everyone! 👋 Have any of you run into an issue with

pulumi.runtime.registerStackTransformation

not being invoked? I want to apply tags to all resources, and am following this article, but no luck with getting this to work 😞 Pulumi version is

2.19.0

, and I've followed this Github issue but the problem persists. Any help is greatly appreciated! 🍻

has anyone had trouble with go runtime spending ridiculous amount of time building and linking? i've rewrote my stack in go figuring it would give me a faster bootstrap, but instead i'm observing like a 30-60 second latency before I even get to running it. i'm on go 1.16 and macos

This is a known issue. Due to a lack of generics, we have to generate a very large number of types and functions in our Go SDKs. In v2.18.2 we rolled out an update that improved this by ~50%. I would make sure your pulumi Go SDK and provider SDKs are at the latest versions. One thing that might help is using a

go install

based workflow. By default, pulumi invokes your program with

go run main.go

but you can set the

options.binary

property in your pulumi.yaml to point to a precompiled binary. This way you can run a

go install

to do an incremental build and then have

pulumi up

use the pre-built binary. https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/project/#pulumi-yaml

There is also a #golang channel that you can join for more Go discussion.
