Can you elaborate by what you mean by infrastructure state

gentle-diamond-70147 · Answer

Pulumi is used to manage infrastructure and application resources if that s what you mean

gentle-diamond-70147 · Answer

Conceptually Pulumi is similar to Terraform You define what you want your infrastructure containers kubernetes etc resources to be and Pulumi knows how to create and manage them

You probably mean your state file like in terraform the `tfstate` <https pulumi io reference state html to the filesystem backend>

Yes that is to I refer and also Can I store the state in some remote storage similar to terraform I mean can I store the state in azure storage for example instead to pulumi app web site <https pulumi io reference state html> If I want to do this it have some cost for me

gentle-diamond-70147 · Answer

We do support Azure Blob storage and others However they do not support state locking so you d need to account for that yourself

gentle-diamond-70147 · Answer

The Pulumi Service provides state storage state lock role based access controls webhooks and many other team focused features so I highly recommend considering it

gentle-diamond-70147 · Answer

Using the Pulumi Service does not change which infrastructure provider you use so you would still use Azure cloud for your infrastructure and application resources

colossal-room-15708 · Answer

< billions mechanic 26704> yeah you still use Azure like Cameron says but managing the state file yourself means you buy yourself a lot of problems you don t need to have

billions-mechanic-26704 · Answer

< colossal room 15708> can you explain me when you says gt you buy yourself a lot of problems I mean If I store the state in some cloud service like azure storage An also I have another question If I decide use it means that the company should to pay for use it It wouldn t personal use

colossal-room-15708 · Answer

It means that you now have to figure out how to deploy the storage account outside of pulumi control access to the storage account secure the state file back it up and all the other things that come with this

colossal-room-15708 · Answer

< gentle diamond 70147> what do you mean not support state locking You mean the pulumi provider doesn t lock the file Because Azure Blobs certainly support locking

gentle-diamond-70147 · Answer

< colossal room 15708> per the original PR I think locking is not currently implemented

colossal-room-15708 · Answer

okay the pulumi provider doesn t I understand I might take a look at that
