You can instantiate additional Resource Providers to hit different regions <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts resources providers>

purple-train-14007 · Answer

thanks

purple-train-14007 · Answer

This makes me think you cant create a custom provider for Azure Is my assumption correct I cant deploy to multiple regions for azure within the same stack <https www pulumi com docs reference pkg azure provider inputs>

purple-train-14007 · Answer

Or am I looking at the wrong API

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

You can You need to use separate providers per region One stack can use any number of providers

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

You can deploy to AWS k8s and Azure in the same stack if you like

purple-train-14007 · Answer

hmm the API reference isnt showing anything for instantiating this

purple-train-14007 · Answer

Closest thing I see is Environment My assumptions are being made based on this example and the C api reference for azures Provider <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts resources explicit provider configuration>

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Yes that s the correct link

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

You can create as many providers as you like In the example code just one is created useast1 but you can create any number

purple-train-14007 · Answer

Right but look at the provider args Those are supported args in Azures provider Or am I overthinking this <https www pulumi com docs reference pkg azure provider >

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

They can all be from the same package e g Azure or from multiple packages They can all have the same parameters e g `Region = us east 1` or they call all be different

purple-train-14007 · Answer

ok I believe you still new to this tool sweat smile

purple-train-14007 · Answer

so it should look something like this then

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

slightly smiling face

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

I don t know why those docs don t mention Region

purple-train-14007 · Answer

Yeah its making me think it doesnt exist and the compiler isnt liking it

purple-train-14007 · Answer

it doesnt even show up as a selectable object when I push ctrl + space

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

It s not in Azure Native either Weeeird let s look at some example code

purple-train-14007 · Answer

yeah thats what Im saying I dont think this is a thing

purple-train-14007 · Answer

it is in aws though sweat smile

purple-train-14007 · Answer

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Yep it should be there I d have thought

purple-train-14007 · Answer

yeah its not I just peeled back Pulumis covers There is no region mention in any of the APIs

purple-train-14007 · Answer

its in everything but Azure

purple-train-14007 · Answer

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Apparently you can set azure location in config let s see what that maps to

purple-train-14007 · Answer

yeah but that conflicts wouldnt it you cant have two values for the same object like that

purple-train-14007 · Answer

for example Default region for me

purple-train-14007 · Answer

```config azure native location westus 2```

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Yes that s what it s looking like at the moment But maybe automation api can work around this

purple-train-14007 · Answer

hmm ok

purple-train-14007 · Answer

yeah that violates Yaml syntax and cuases a duplication of keys

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Just found this error message in the provider source code gt reason += Either set it explicitly or configure it with pulumi config set azure native location lt value gt Just need to figure out how to set it explicitly

purple-train-14007 · Answer

hmm ok

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Apparently it is possible see this at bottom of <https www pulumi com docs get started azure review project > gt Note In this program the location of the resource group is set in the configuration setting azure native location check the Pulumi dev yaml file This is an easy way to set a global location for your program so you don t have to specify the location for each resource manually The location for the storage account is automatically derived from the location of the resource group To override the location for a resource simply set the location property to one of Azure s supported locations

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Have to find the location property

purple-train-14007 · Answer

lol this is quite an easter egg hunt

purple-train-14007 · Answer

just in time for the holiday

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

fried egg

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Oooo it s in the args not the opts

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Ooop

purple-train-14007 · Answer

huh

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Looks like every Azure and Azure Native resource has a Location property

purple-train-14007 · Answer

checking

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

So you don t use different providers One provider can access any location

purple-train-14007 · Answer

Thats weird

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Certainly different

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Handy though I guess

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Soo this egg is cracked

purple-train-14007 · Answer

omg Im blind

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

eyeglasses

purple-train-14007 · Answer

It was there the whole time in Vnet scream

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Kinda sticks out when you know to look for it eh

purple-train-14007 · Answer

Yeah but I was going off the docs for general pulumi usage

purple-train-14007 · Answer

oof

purple-train-14007 · Answer
