pulumi config set azure:clientid <value>

This isn’t correct, it needs to be

azure:clientId

- note the casing

var config = new Pulumi.Config();
var clientId = config.Require("azure:clientId");

This is also incorrect, config is namespaced, so you’d need to do:

var config = new Pulumi.Config("azure");
var clientId = config.Require("clientId");

Config is namespaced. Again, note the casing.

ok. so when I add my own namespace I need to say in the Pulumi.Config to tell it to use my configs from that section? so pulumi config set aws:foo <value>

var config = new Pulumi.Config("aws");
var clientId = config.Require("foo");

?

yes that’s right

ok. What I do it that in Powershell I create an app registration and a sercvice principle for that one. I can't do it with Pulumi because I can't set the build server as an owner to tha app registration. So in that case I want to store the serviceprinciple to my config. that's why i named it azure:clientId but then it might be bad to say azure: I wanted to namespace all settings I might need to add for azure parts to my pulumi.<env>.yamls

no that’s exactly what you need to do to authenticate to azure https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/azure/api-docs/provider/#clientid
