I'm guessing this parameter might be relevant:

-c, --config stringArray       Config to use during the update

But that seems to exist only on

update

and not on

preview

.

More specifically in this case, what I'm trying to accomplish is using a Pulumi program to deploy an Azure App Service based on Linux containers. I'm looking to execute this program from an Azure DevOps release pipeline, to deploy it to a particular stack. The container image to be run on the App Service is built in a separate job, where Pulumi is not involved. The image tag that should be pulled and run by the App Service is determined and known by the release job, and needs to be passed down to Pulumi and used as one of the arguments set on the App Service.

pulumi config set

just seems wrong, because this value is really not configuration that I'd like persisted in the stack. The value is by nature more of a parameter than a configuration value - if that makes sense?

Are you using Typescript/Javascript or Python?

In the former case, you can use the

env

property of the Node.JS

process

object:

process.env["MYENVVAR"]

in the latter case, you can use `os.environ`:

import os
print(os.environ["MYENVVAR"])
