Is there a way to get the current stack name programmatically?

I’ve created an ElasticSearch cluster in Pulumi. What’s the right way to use the

endpoint

it outputs in the config files I generate for downstream resources? To get that value as a string, do I put the whole downstream resource inside the output’s

apply()

I'm totally new to Pulumi and trying it out as a PoC for a project for my team. Specifically, I want to create AWS resources like EKS and an autoscaling group, some S3 buckets and objects, etc. I'd like to use python. I tried the tutorial but now I'm getting errors like this:

Copy code

pulumi stack
error: open /home/tsi.lan: permission denied

Does pulumi need to run as root?

Here's a higher-level error:

What's up with that error?

@early-musician-41645 hmm, the plugin is supposed to install alongside your Python dependencies - have you run “pip install -r requirements.txt” yet? Also what version of the Pulumi CLI are you using?

Copy code

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Copy code

$ pulumi version

OK, you should be able to install the plugin using `pulumi plugin install resource aws v0.15.0"

can you open an issue for this, though?

Is remote preview and update on the road map? (terraform Enterprise like functionality)

I started using pulumi Tuesday and I have already deployed a container to ecs, uploaded a static site to s3, created load balancers to front my ecs cluster, and updated dns in route 53 with the load balancers aliases!

Pretty much an aws n00b too.

I worked backwards from the fargate example to figure out what AWS resources I needed. Lots of manual poking which helped me figure out what code to write too.

I started by copy pasta the Service class because I needed more control (load balancer IDs). I was thrilled today when I ended by uploading my React app to s3.

Having typescript makes the API SOOO much more discoverable. Lots easier to figure out arguments for a constructor when the compiler tells you about them.

I'm importing some task definitions from one file into my main one, but they're not being created unless I console.log them or somehow use them. I'm guessing due to how typescript/ES6 handles unused imports. What's the right way to do this?

sparse-insurance-40223

10/25/2018, 2:48 PM

if you export something dependent on them it wont compile them away

quick-action-34599

10/25/2018, 2:54 PM

not sure what you mean

quick-action-34599

10/25/2018, 2:54 PM

oh now I think I do. Yea, nothing depends on them.

quick-action-34599

10/25/2018, 2:55 PM

adding the console.log statements works; it's just kinda janky

sparse-insurance-40223

10/25/2018, 2:57 PM

i basically do export const deployedServiceIpAddresses = generatethemallasalisthere;

pulumi picks up all the exports from the entrypoint file and prints them in a nice list

10/25/2018, 3:02 PM

ah-ha

You can also import with

import “./other”

to force the module to be imported even if no values are used. This is a somewhat strange TypeScript design choice. See https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/9191#issuecomment-226258610.

How do I convince pulumi to push my docker image to ECR when I'm tagging it with
