So you can code that exactly how you describe it - query for the group check the response and if it’s null then proceed to the create

Oh shizzle.
Could I use the || operator in typescript?

*let route =* aws.route53.getZone({name: defaultTags.stagingSubDomain}) *|| new* aws.route53.Record(stagingSubDomain, {…}

This is where the use of the programming language rather than a dsl is so powerful :)

Yes sir, it’s a shame though that pulumi itself needs to run in order to activate.
Now I got TypeScript (node runtime) piping out to  Pulimi (typescript)
Would have loved writing it all in TypeScript before loading up pulumi.

Stuff like sorting/search files, setting configs and stacks.

I’m sorry to say I’ve not quite followed what you mean there but that’s only because it’s 0535 and I’m jetlagged :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

Sorry I was very unclear now reading back.
The thing is we need to run some code before calling pulumi up in our CI
I loathe bash, so I just use Typescript.
I could have done this in combination with pulumi but this code actually sets up the stuff pulumi needs.
I can’t call pulumi up before this.

Btw you’ve been very helpful I appreciate it.

Ah I see what you mean now :)

No worries at all - this is why this channel exists

Is there no way of setting configs or secrets programatically  with pulumi typescript?

Usecase:
We generate a IAM user and add it to a group.
Give it rights to access S3, Cloudfront, SES and other stuff and then generate the access_key and secret.
Right now they are used as kubernetes secrets, but would be great to store them as pulimi secrets as well.
For staging we export them.
