I would be surprised if you would ever touch the

Pulumi.yaml

. That mainly contains the project name and the runtime. You will see a

Pulumi.{stackname}.yaml

which is mainly used for configuration within your app (again, you might never need to use this)

Gordon, this file is populated when you do a new project. You don't need to edit this file, it is done on creation. Have a look at it, really just contains some basic info, not full on yaml:

name: CodeImport
runtime: nodejs
description: A minimal AWS TypeScript Pulumi program

This is just my nag from a philosophical level. Can’t this file be

Plumi.ts

(or other based on the language user selected)?

You don't have to use it. You can have your config done differently. That's just where the CLI writes to

got it

Caveat on this - if you want to use our secret manager then you need to use this way of doing config. But you would write using the CLI and you can read using code so you still don't have to write any yaml
