Pulumi Community

it appears like Pulumi wrote a JSON file with the code but I was expecting something different... I stumbled upon LocalStack and am trying to get Pulumi to create an S3 bucket in my LocalStack environment.

I created an IAM user with an access key/secret key in my LocalStack environment and used the Pulumi Login with those creds. When I query my environment, I don't actually see the S3 bucket. All I see is that auto-generated JSON file.

I have never tried, but AFAIK Pulumi uses the AWS CLI. So if e.g. "aws s3 ls" shows what you wants, it should also work with Pulumi, wouldn't it?

That's what I thought as well. Unfortunately, I didn't see the bucket get created when I used AWS CLI. :confused:

So if you use AWS CLI, you see your local stack buckets?

That is correct. Well, I do this to see the LocalStack buckets:
```aws --endpoint-url=<http://localhost:4566> s3 ls```

I also confirmed that that bucket was not created in my default AWS account that is referenced in my AWS credentials file

I just looked at the `__main__.py` and all it has is `import pulumi` . No actual Python code to create the bucket. That's most likely my issue...

The `pulumi up`  output along with the JSON made me think that it was somehow already created. I need to actually write the code in the `__main__.py`.

The AWS provider has an endpoints configuration parameter. Maybe that helps? <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/blob/c9547d53def228443aa350e8529bbc98096c3599/sdk/go/aws/provider.go>

You probably need to create a non-default provider and then pass that as last argument for your s3 calls.

Like
const provider = new aws.Provider('local', { endpoints: [{ s3: '<http://localhost:4566/'}>]  } )
new aws.s3.Bucket('mybucket', {}, { provider: provider })

hmm.. might be a little more difficult than I expected.. I'll keep reviewing.. I'm currently trying to use one of the Pulumi samples for creating a static website in S3. The website is a bonus, I just wanted to create the bucket to demo out to my team.

found the Python provider class. :slightly_smiling_face:
