cloud might be a laggard. :slightly_smiling_face: ...

cloud might be a laggard. 🙂 let me look
@tall-monitor-77779 it uses the standard build infrastructure so 
make test_all
should work
also much of pulumi/pulumi contributing.md should apply here as well.
t
yeah just reading thru that now thanks!
cloud.Service
is killing me
c
yeah that makes sense
I don’t know much about the cloud package though so I’m not sure how much I can help……
t
I love it and hate it
such a powerful abstraction, removing the need to manually create VPC’s, Security Groups etc.
and its ALMOST perfect
w
Cc @lemon-spoon-91807 who may be able to help with some of the questions here.
c
Yeah, personally, I find this to be true of most new noun-based abstractions. 🙂
t
I’ve been down a rabbit hole today with it
c
same could be said of Kubernetes 
Service
and 
Ingress
t
true
c
In the limit the complexity of new nouns becomes the transitive closure of all subcomponents that it abstracts.
t
thanks @white-balloon-205 will look forward to chatting wit him

Hi there 🙂
t
Hola
I have 2 requirements: 1. not to publish my service externally 2. to use DNS for service discovery
I’ve used 
cloud-aws:usePrivateNetwork: "true"
which is fair enough, tho I think we really should be able to pass such parameters when constructing the 
cloud.Service
l
slack crashed 🙂
t
there is lots of spagetti there, you wind up chasing your arse to figure out what 
getOrCreateNetwork
and 
getCluster
does
then you find out that you can alter its behaviour with parameters
l
yup. the feedback makes sense
note: i'm not a particular expert in this area. @white-balloon-205 is there a reason that hte Network portion of cloud.Service is not something that a user can supply when making a Service?
t
so I thought, I’ll folk and PR to add 
useLoadBalancer?: boolean;
to 
ServiceArguments
and then skip 
createLoadBalancer
at 
aws/service.ts#723
if this is set to 
false
l
my concern there would be:
t
but then got into a whole world of pain (see above)
l
if we don't create a load balancer, later on other stuff will not be happy
like line: 237
t
const hostname = info.host.dnsName;
?
l
yes
t
umm
l
i'm just trying to compute out hte downstream impact of not having a load balancer
t
I think @white-balloon-205 agreed the other day that DNS for service discover was a good thing
l
(this is not an area of expertise for me)
t
that was going to be my next task after disabling LB
l
sorry, i'm not questioning the ask 🙂 or hte desire. I'm just trying to figure out what would need to happen in the code to make this feasible 🙂
t
yeah thats fair, np
l
i.e. it doesn't look as simple as just 'do not create the load balancer'. since code a few steps down looks lke it will just crash.
however, it looks like this is just being done to create some environment variables. so maybe it's fine to just not do that
So: question for you. If you try this locally (i.e. just comment out the line that makes the load balance, and comment out the line that uses that later on to create environment variables), do things otherwise work for you?
do you get the resultant set of infrastructure you want, confiured properly for your needs?
t
good question, lets see
l
Ok 🙂
let me know what you discover/learn
because that can feed into an appropriate PR with a suitable design to address things here
t
(never easy going thru the TS generated JS) 😕
l
it shouldn't be too bad 🙂 it's just an NPM package. so you can whack away to your heart's content 😄
can i help with anything else? or is this a reasonable starting point to just see if we can get enough info to proceed?
t
sorry deleting a 
aws:ec2:Subnet
seems to be taking an absolute age
just waiting for that before I run with the LB commented out
l
indeed, tens of minutes sometimes
t
yeah so 
function getEndpoints
isn’t happy, needs 
dnsName
so going into another rabbit hole
so yeah, thats not a simple change to skip the LB create
l
ah yup. that's another location
getEndpoints shouldn't be too hard to update though
t
I’m defeated! lost an whole day on this 😕
looks like I’m gunna have to manually construct an ECS cluster with much the same code as 
cloud.Service
😞
l
oh no! that sucks 😞 I'm going to open a bug for us to track this. I'm a little wary about it as i'm not sure the entire implications of not having a load balancer
but it's something we can try to make better in the future
Also, what's your github alias, so i can tag you in the issue? Thanks!
t
I think its really worth putting some attention to, its a great feature of pulumi, but its in need of some simplification and less black magic
danny-waite
is my github user
l
Working on a potential PR now for Danny to try out
