Also… just to make sure I’m not missing something on the first error, you are saying that this message is confusing because you have run

npm install

, right?

For those of us on terminals with dark backgrounds, the message here is really hard to read.

Does Pulumi use Terraform?

I would like to pick the community brains: I'm building a Serverless app. One of the methods is a post, with some logic, and stores in DynamoDB. The Lambda is build with C#. Using pulumi, there are several aways to Deploy it,

aws-serverless

cloud-aws

and

aws

packages. Given that we want to use X-Ray and Cognitive, what is the best approach?

If I have some code written in

my-service.ts

, is there a way to conditionally provision those resources based on a value in the config?

Hey all - I’m in the process of designing a feature that will allow for client-side encryption of secrets within a Pulumi stack’s state file, which is managed by the service. If you’re interested in client-side encryption of secrets, I’d really appreciate it if you checked it out and left comments, especially comments about whether or not the proposed scheme is sufficient for you and/or if you are happy with it: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/1867#issuecomment-424102794

Is there a way to get the CloudFormation outputs from

aws.cloudformation.Stack

full-dress-10026

09/24/2018, 9:08 PM

I didn't see any way to get the outputs from the

Stack

object so I tried this:

Copy code

let myStack = new aws.cloudformation.Stack("my-stack", {
    templateUrl: templateUrl,
    capabilities: ["CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM"]
});

let myStackName = myStack.name;

let r = shell.execSync(`aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name ${myStackName}`);
console.log("out:", r);

Intuitively that would work, but it's now clear there are multiple stages in processing an update. Presumably

.name.get()

is available at a later stage.

@full-dress-10026 Since it’s based on the Terraform provider,

outputs

should be a field available on a Stack resource unless something unusual has happened to that one

stocky-spoon-28903

09/24/2018, 9:11 PM

https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/blob/master/sdk/nodejs/cloudformation/stack.ts#L55 suggests it should be there!

full-dress-10026

09/24/2018, 9:14 PM

I see that there. Not sure I understand how I'm supposed to use it. I'd only like to get a value from the outputs, not transform it.

stocky-spoon-28903

09/24/2018, 9:15 PM

Ah I see! You can likely do this:

stocky-spoon-28903

09/24/2018, 9:15 PM

Copy code

let particularOutput = myStack.outputs.apply(o => o.particularOutput);

stocky-spoon-28903

09/24/2018, 9:16 PM

The part in the lambda might need to be indexed rather than called using the object syntax (I’m on my phone and can’t test it easily right now)

full-dress-10026

09/24/2018, 9:18 PM

Perhaps a console.log is not executing at the right stage. I have this:

Copy code

let myStackName = myStack.outputs.apply(o => o["VpcId"]);
console.log("out:", myStackName);

which prints this in Diagnostics after running `pulumi update`:

Copy code

pulumi:pulumi:Stack: infrastructure-infra-dev
    info: out: Output {
      __pulumiOutput: true,
      isKnown: Promise { <pending> },
      resources: [Function],
      promise: [Function],
      apply: [Function],
      get: [Function] }

If you move the console log inside the apply, does that do what you expect?

full-dress-10026

09/24/2018, 9:23 PM

Ah yes! Do you know if there are any docs that describe these stages? It seems valuable to understand the lifecycle here.

stocky-spoon-28903

09/24/2018, 9:23 PM

I’m sure there are some, I’ll have to look for exactly where though - someone else might beat me to that

white-balloon-205

09/24/2018, 9:24 PM

There are some very light docs here - definitely could use expanding on: https://pulumi.io/reference/programming-model.html#outputs

full-dress-10026

09/24/2018, 9:26 PM

Right, I saw that. I'd suggest adding that outputs are only available after having run an update, not in the global scope.

I'm also curious if writing some bash commands to be executed after the "resolve outputs" stage is possible. If so, is there a suggested way to do so? It feels wrong to write an IO call in the

.apply

function.

full-dress-10026

09/24/2018, 9:30 PM

Kinda like what I did here:

Copy code

let myStack = new aws.cloudformation.Stack("my-stack", {
    templateUrl: templateUrl,
    capabilities: ["CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM"]
});

let myStackName = myStack.name;

let r = shell.execSync(`aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name ${myStackName}`);
console.log("out:", r);

Is there a way to get the vpc id created from a

cloud.Service

? I see

.ecsService.networkConfiguration

contains

subnets

but not

vpc

full-dress-10026

09/24/2018, 10:43 PM

subnets

was a list of `aws.ec2.Subnet`s then you'd be able to get the vpc id.

If I'm creating two pieces of infrastructure - but one needs the

name

of the previous one, how can I ensure that infrastructure A exists before Infrastructure B is created?

proud-tiger-5743

09/24/2018, 10:56 PM

Example - I'm mapping an API Gateway to Kinesis - but the API gets created before, and so it can't access the

name

of the Kinesis stream

full-dress-10026

09/24/2018, 10:57 PM

I was able to get the VPC id by doing this:

Copy code

let serviceSubnets = service.ecsService.networkConfiguration.apply(o => {
    if (o != null) {
        return o["subnets"];
    } else {
        throw new Error("No network configuration present on service. Cannot proceed.");
    }
});
let serviceFirstSubnet = serviceSubnets.apply(subnets => subnets[0]);
let serviceVpcId = aws.ec2.Subnet.get("subnet", serviceFirstSubnet).vpcId;

There must be a cleaner way to do this.

white-balloon-205

09/25/2018, 12:44 AM

I'm a little surprised you need to test for

null

in that code - the callback should only run when the

networkConfiguration

is available. Were you seeing otherwise?

white-balloon-205

09/25/2018, 12:48 AM

Another alternative that should work for the above would be something along the lines of:

Copy code

let serviceVpcId = service.ecsService.networkConfiguration.apply(async (networkConfig) => {
    let subnetId = networkConfig["subnets"][0];
    let subnet = await aws.ec2.getSubnet({ id: subnetId });
    return subnet.vpcId;
});
