09/02/2018, 3:43 PMI'm building my top-level script at the moment, so it has some very hairy outputs from other modules I've written - DNS root zone, VPC, etc. etc. - that's why it took me so long to run into that one - b

09/02/2018, 3:43 PMThanks for the comments on the issue, I'll definitely be looking shortly and will comment back there. 👍 - b

09/02/2018, 3:43 PMI very much like how predictable using Node modules is downstream thoughb- 2

09/02/2018, 3:44 PMI worry about end users wrapping Pulumi resources into classes though - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 3:44 PMSomething about it feels a little nonintuitive; I ended up just writing functions that return Pulumi objects - c

09/02/2018, 6:22 PM@boundless-monkey-50243 FWIW I worry about that too, which is why the first rev of the k8s Helm/YAML classes were actually pure functions. @white-balloon-205 then yelled at me for this ( 🙂 ) and now we have classes.b- 2

09/02/2018, 6:22 PMinternally we use classes everywhere so for us at least I suppose it is better that we are consistent. - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 9:52 PMAre there Pulumi plans for something akin to a Terraform provisioner, i.e. "do this once a resource is created/modified"? Being able to gate execution on (say) the completed setup of service X, which service Y depends upon, is pretty important. - r
rough-oil-1458
09/02/2018, 9:53 PMI think provisioners are a bad idea. - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 9:53 PMWhat's your better alternative? - r
rough-oil-1458
09/02/2018, 9:54 PMmake your instances handle events - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 9:54 PMIn CloudFormation, resource signals and userdata take care of it, but Pulumi and Terraform don't support either. - c
creamy-potato-29402
09/02/2018, 9:54 PMYou can definitely gate execution of stuff on completion of resources. What are you looking to do? - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 9:55 PM@creamy-potato-29402 I need to bootstrap the world. In this case, that means uploading cookbooks for chef-zero (I use minimart for this) into S3 after the S3 bucket is created, then to provide the location of those cookbooks to instances downstream. - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 9:55 PM(as an aside I think the documentation around "immutable infrastructure" architecture is kind of misleading; most of these that I've found still use a CM tool--we use Chef Zero, but there are arguments for others--both for building that infrastructure and for performing last-mile configuration on a newly started machine.) - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 9:55 PM@rough-oil-1458 I'm not referring only to instances here, either. - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 9:56 PM@creamy-potato-29402 So, ideally, I would have a way to execute A Thing that pushes our minimart contents to S3 (whether or not it had to create the S3 bucket), then continue on our merry way with setting up EC2 instances after that completed. - c

09/02/2018, 9:56 PMOn phone but have you seen this https://twitter.com/funcofjoe/status/1028315379641118720?s=21 - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 9:57 PMI haven't, but not sure how that applies here? - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 9:57 PMLike, I was originally looking for an
event somewhere on the resourceonX - c
creamy-potato-29402
09/02/2018, 9:59 PMCould be misunderstanding but you can gate continuing on resolution of a promise - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 9:59 PMThe resolution, here, is Pulumi creating an S3 bucket, not my code? - c
creamy-potato-29402
09/02/2018, 9:59 PMAlso on phone so fidelity of comms is low - c
creamy-potato-29402
09/02/2018, 10:00 PMYou can use .apply to require a resource to complete first - c

boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 10:00 PMOh. OK, awesome - b
boundless-monkey-50243
09/02/2018, 10:00 PMThat's perfect, thank you
