Yo folks, a quick question: Is it possible to create a folder inside an existing S3 bucket that isn't managed by pulumi? Or, alternatively: can I put objects inside an existing S3 bucket not managed by pulumi, and put said objects in a sub-directory?

yes, you just need the bucket id, which you can retrieve using ’getBucket`

to which of the 2 question? 1st or 2nd ?

Is it possible to create a folder inside an existing S3 bucket that isn’t managed by pulumi?

yes, you just need the bucket id, which you can retrieve using ’getBucket`

can I put objects inside an existing S3 bucket not managed by pulumi, and put said objects in a sub-directory?

yes, just prefix the object name with the subdirectory

Ah, that's simpler than I expected. When I googled "Pulumi s3 Folder" I found this not so trivial tutorial 🤔 . I'm not exactly sure how I'm supposed to create an empty directory inside a bucket. Is it achieved using the

s3.BucketObject

resource?

no i don’t think you can create an empty directory

Ah ok, got it. Well i guess it won't be a problem anyway if I can prefix an object with the path

actually, try setting the object to

/dev/null

interesting, i'll try that

or try

contentType: "application/x-directory"
