Question

< better shampoo 48884> I just use an S3 bucket and each pulumi project gets its own directory in the bucket

better-shampoo-48884 · Answer

Do you set up the directories yourself With azure blob container it just throws everything into root like normal pulumi folder

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

in blob storage directories aren t really directories right They re just simulated that way for the UI it s really just pathing So when I give my project a state backend url this is the path that I use `s3 bucketName projectName ` And that effectively gives it its own directory

exactly what I was wondering about thanks slightly smiling face

worried-knife-31967 · Answer

however that breaks stack references

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

true I don t use them

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

it s worth mentioning also that filestate backends do not support locking on stack updates by default Meaning you ll get all kinds of weird issues if concurrent updates on the same stack go out this PR was recently approved gating the locking mechanism behind an ENV var and this issue is open to make it the default It s fairly new parameter so not really documented yet

mm i do like stack references though

oh wow was wondering if lockfile was being worked on thats excellent

With stack references and filestate backend the only alternative afaik is to utilize the naming scheme where you have for example the project name in the stack name It s a bit clunky but it does work

worried-knife-31967 · Answer

yup that s what I ve detailed in that post

I thought Azure Blob used the Lease for locking though

I wonder in a stack reference with azblob backend would stack B lock the stack A state if it referenced it

better-shampoo-48884 · Answer

or even with the new locking system technically a state reference just reads the output as a one off right

bored-oyster-3147 · Answer

a stack reference is just going to be deserializing the state file it shouldn t be locking anything
