In terraform modules is a thing. Simplyfying how much configuration needs for example for a VPC. Is this translated to pulumi. Or must I code each resource one by one?

In pulumi, using your favourite programming language, you can organise your code in units (e.g. packages/classes/functions) in a similar way as terraform modules

Thanks But are there official registries for the common packages? Like this one for VPC. https://registry.terraform.io/modules/terraform-aws-modules/vpc/aws/latest Basically, I trust other people to maintain their "modules" better than me and mine 😉 How could I set this up for my own resources. Without inventing the VPC code wheel. My VPC logic for now is a lot of complicated code. Endpoints.. Nat gateways.. route tables etc..

For starters, I would recommend checking those 2 places https://www.pulumi.com/registry/ https://www.pulumi.com/docs/clouds/aws/guides/

Specifically for AWS, Pulumi provides the Crosswalk package, which includes a VPC module: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/clouds/aws/guides/vpc/ Pulumi has a registry also, although not as extensive as for Terraform: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/

I have a post in which I create a vpc with pulumi : https://medium.com/@sergio.salmador/first-project-with-pulumi-e12ff72277bc

The pulumi equivalent of modules is components. If you filter by

component

type here: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/

Thanks guys. There any way to import existing resources into components though? https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/9146 makes me think no

@gorgeous-honey-75918 while that issue is still open, work has been done to mitigate this. If you create an import file, you can point to a parent component where the resource needs to be imported into. To start, see the section on the import file here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/cli/commands/pulumi_import/ If you want a file generated for your setup, which includes the pulumi side of things, you can use

pulumi preview --import-file

. Add all the actual resource ids to this file for the infrastructure you want to import. Remove entries from this file what already exists in the Pulumi stack.
