< jolly egg 4894> thanks How does pulumi cope with locking resources In terraform there is a remote state What about pulumi

jolly-egg-4894 · Answer

Remote state was recently added to Pulumi There s a PR in the works adding locking to remote state files <https github com pulumi pulumi pull 2697>

jolly-egg-4894 · Answer

I believe this is the PR that initially added remote state files <https github com pulumi pulumi pull 2455>

boundless-room-36997 · Answer

so how did it work so far when the whole team has been modifying different part of infrastructure

jolly-egg-4894 · Answer

I ve not used Pulumi in a production project myself but before remote state I guess it would have been a case of having a script to download and upload the state to your CI amp CD Pipeline Right now I guess you could have a dynamodb table where you toggle a value as locked before running pulumi amp then put it back to unlocked after

jolly-egg-4894 · Answer

Not sure what the recommended method is atm

jolly-egg-4894 · Answer

I guess instead of the old dynamo method your script could actually use s3 s locking capabilities like pulumi will in the future <https aws amazon com about aws whats new 2018 11 s3 object lock >

miniature-musician-31262 · Answer

By default Pulumi uses its own hosted platform to manage state

miniature-musician-31262 · Answer

You can choose not to use that though by working locally a la Terraform or by using an alternate backend as mentioned above
