10/09/2021, 6:48 PMIs there a concept of "modules" in pulumi known from terraform or is that handled by usual programming language with functions and classes ?

10/09/2021, 7:12 PMThe latter. With Pulumi, you'd use classes, functions, etc which can be packaged in
ComponentResourcesđź‘Ť 2

10/09/2021, 10:56 PMI see, and I would need to make sure I have those ComponentResources installed before hand rather than being able to define it within the code and source it from external git repo as it's the case with terraform?

10/09/2021, 11:24 PMno, they don’t need to be installed

10/09/2021, 11:24 PMa component resource is just a class
freezing-van-87649
10/09/2021, 11:24 PMyou either write it as part of a pulumi application or import it as a dependency (using a node module, python package, etc)

10/09/2021, 11:25 PMyou can view docs on creating a component resource here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/#authoring-a-new-component-resource

10/09/2021, 11:25 PMa component resource isn’t very different from just writing a function, either of them work as a unit of code reuse within pulumi
freezing-van-87649
10/09/2021, 11:26 PMnot that you don’t need to use a component resource

10/09/2021, 11:26 PMyou can also call a function as many times as you want/need to

10/10/2021, 12:35 AMI see. Thanks for clarification.
Would you also happen to know if I can somehow have the pulumi "login" defined in YAML on each of my projects?
I want to use azure blob storage as (so called backend in terrafom) but I dont want to be "logged in" to it all the time.
So for example if I go to my project directory and run pulumi commands it should know to use specific backend storage but if I go to another it should know to use s3 bucket for example

10/10/2021, 1:46 AMso the concept of logging in doesn’t map super cleanly to blob storage

10/10/2021, 1:47 AMit doesn’t create any additional credentials, pretty sure it just updates some config to point to that bucket as the default

10/10/2021, 1:47 AMFor S3 I’m pretty sure it just follows the AWS credential chain, so if you’ve got a default set of credentials it will always try to use that
freezing-van-87649
10/10/2021, 1:47 AMif you set some temporary credentials using environment variables it will use those

10/10/2021, 2:02 AMRight, so this is quite a deal breaker.
Would you happen to know if automation API can handle the login part ?
AKA
1. Single .py file
2. Login to azure and get access token ( custom not pulumi code to do that)
3. Configure the azure backend with sas token
4. Create or update stack
5. Run stuff
