Question

More questions coming slightly smiling face Is there a way to a service name that doesn t add the extra unique characters to the string Making a POC in NET and here I would like to set the Uri for the service in the `appsettings json` file in the frontend app but that doesn t work since pulumi adds some characters I guess one way could be to get the name from the environment somehow instead

To clarify If I try to deploy services named `frontend` and `backend` From `frontend` I should now be able to reference the `backend` using `<https backend>` since they are in the same namespace at least I think so With pulumi I have to use `backend xxxxxx` where I doesn t know what `xxxxx` is before I ve deployed `backend` once For other resources I ve seen that you can override the name but I can t find that for the `Deployment` or `Service` resources

It isn t Pulumi that is naming your pods and ReplicaSets that way It is Kubernetes Each pod needs to be unique in the cluster so this is the default and only kubernetes behaviour afaik when using Deployments Your services shouldn t have this kind of unique name in the cluster This pulumi TypeScript fragment will create a service attached to pods with the postgresLabels and give the service the DNS entry in the cluster of `postgres svc` In the same namespace you can use the Url or hostname of `postgres svc` to access that pod regardless of the pods name ```const postgresServiceName = postgres svc const postgresService = new k8s core v1 Service postgresServiceName metadata name postgresServiceName labels postgresLabels spec ports port 5432 protocol TCP selector postgresLabels provider k8sProvider ```

This is the k8s service resource that is created with that pulumi fragment

If you know the `metadata name insert value here ` ahead of time you can put that in your `appsettings json` you can also override your appsettings json with an env var that you put in your deployment resource description in Pulumi ```const postgresDepName = postgres dep const postgresDeployment = new k8s apps v1 Deployment postgresDepName metadata name postgresDepName labels postgresLabels spec selector matchLabels postgresLabels replicas 1 revisionHistoryLimit 2 template metadata labels postgresLabels spec containers name postgres image postgres alpine volumeMounts mountPath var lib postgresql data name volume resources requests cpu 100m memory 100Mi ports containerPort 5432 env name POSTGRES USER value admin name POSTGRES PASSWORD value P ssw0rd name POSTGRES DB value identity name PGDATA value mnt data pgdata volumes name volume persistentVolumeClaim claimName postgresPVClaimName provider k8sProvider ```

pulumi does add a suffix to resources this is so that if you change an immutable field it can orchestrate a replacement to avoid this just manually specify metadata name

gorgeous-egg-16927 · Answer

If you re referring to the random suffix on the resource name see <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts programming model autonaming> for more details Short answer is that it won t be autonamed if specify ` metadata name` of any k8s resource
