Hi All, Just started with pulumi and trying to learn stacks and folder structure. Is this possible and feasible? Maybe there are other better ways to achieve this. Or am I completely wrong here.

Copy code

infra/
  ├── Pulumi.yaml
  ├── Pulumi.product1-rnd.yaml
  ├── Pulumi.product1-dev.yaml
  ├── Pulumi.product1-stg.yaml
  ├── Pulumi.product1-prod.yaml
  ├── Pulumi.product2-rnd.yaml
  ├── Pulumi.product2-dev.yaml
  ├── Pulumi.product2-stg.yaml
  ├── Pulumi.product2-prod.yaml

Pulumi.yaml

Copy code

name: my-gcp-infra
runtime: yaml
description: Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi for GCP

Then each file

Pulumi.productX-XXX.yaml

will have the actual resources to deploy. Where

rnd

dev

stg

prod

are different gcp projects for each product for example gcp projects names:

Copy code

product1-rnd
product1-dev
product1-stg
product1-prod
product2-rnd
.
.
.

I did watch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDs_Dzl36vw▾

I did read https://www.pulumi.com/blog/iac-recommended-practices-code-organization-and-stacks/ When I select

zephyr/dev

how Pulumi knows to deploy to

zephyrdev

gcp project and when I do pulumi stack select

zephyr/prod

how does it know to deploy to

sephyrprod

gcp project ? This is confusing, because as I understand there is a single pulumi.yaml containing all of resources.

Copy code

cd infra
pulumi stack select zephyr/dev
pulumi up

Now I get it: Is this correct? • When you run

pulumi stack select zephyr/dev

, Pulumi uses

Pulumi.zephyr-dev.yaml

for the configuration. • When you run

pulumi stack select zephyr/prod

, Pulumi uses

Pulumi.zephyr-prod.yaml

for the configuration. •

main.yaml

is used to keep all the resources and is specified in Pulumi.yaml as?

Copy code

name: my-project
runtime: yaml
description: My Pulumi Project
main: main.yaml

I’m new to Pulumi and trying to do something pretty similar than you. I was wondering if a common approach can be to specify all the main resources in the Pulumi.yaml and then have the Pulumi.xxx.yaml overwriting some of the main properties only

You can see some typical examples for organizing projects here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/using-pulumi/organizing-projects-stacks/#examples
