then they can press a button to spin up a new instance in their DO account and with all the configuration and software installed.

I think the Pulumi Automation API (C# version fore xample (https://www.pulumi.com/blog/automation-api-dotnet/)) could help with this, it can be used for managing Pulumi projects, basically it wraps the

pulumi

CLI in a software library for each of Pulumi's supported language. You define the Pulumi

Stacks

yourself with the necessary DO resources, then make the stacks configurable using pulumis configuration. Use the automation API in your API Endpoint to manage stacks (update, destroy). I know the DigitalOcean provider can be used with setting

digitalocean:token

variable in the Pulumi config, setting the variable as

--secret

ensures the variable is encrypted so it can be stored safely.

Maybe for example using the username or something as the Pulumi stack name, or some other user related field. The automation API allows you to select the name of the stack you are working with, so in your API endpoint you just need to get the current user to manage their Pulumi stack.

Thank you, @prehistoric-coat-10166 Is tehre a python equivalent of the automation API?
