Background • I have 3 individual stacks ( development, staging, production ) • I'm looking for a way to share these stacks across a team without sharing my individual secrets (I am using Pulumi to quickly spin up test environments for individual engineers) • Any engineer in my team might want to clone this repo, and create their own stack, for example; bobs-stack, defining their individual overrides as required • I would like to define global input parameters, which I share with the team included in source control. This will have with default options set but then allow individuals to override these at an individual stack level • Individual then include these in Pulumi.XXX.yaml which are in .gitignore and not included in source control Where I'm stuck • Some of the examples I've found seems to indicate you can define inputs in Pulumi.yaml under the config section, but I believe after reading some more recent information and issues in GitHub, this might be deprecated? Pulumi.yaml

name: my-example-stack

runtime: go

template:

config:

my-example-stack:my-variable:

description: Input variable in the stack namespace defined for all stacks

default: HELLO-WORLD-IN-ALL-STACKS

• Or, are you supposed to only do it via individual stacks? Pulumi.development.yaml

name: my-example-stack

runtime: go

template:

config:

my-example-stack:my-variable:

description: Input variable in the stack namespace defined for all stacks

default: HELLO-WORLD-IN-ONLY-THE-DEVELOPMENT-STACK

• Or is there another way I can achieve global defaults and allow individuals to override settings before deploying their owns stacks?

I think the easiest way to set global defaults currently is to use null-coalescing operators for config in the code itself. See typescript example below:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";

const config = new pulumi.Config();

// Use null-coalescing operator to set default values
const exampleValue = config.get("example-key") ?? "default-value";

export const configValue = exampleValue;

Thanks very much, that makes perfect sense!
