Thoughts and questions re dotnet automation api and configur

Question

Thoughts and questions re dotnet automation api and configuration given I have my own generic host with config logging and services di etc automation api for config can effectively be bypassed with config injected directly into stack instance is this safe or will there be some gotchas that I might be missing I guess still needs to be called if only to record config values used at the time that will then show in the ui provider use of config is currently problematic <https github com pulumi pulumi issues 5582> could this be lazy initialized or invert control by calling back to the automation host for config but is this not a problem if you always explicitly instantiate a provider and pass args

I created a ProviderHelper so I can switched between aws accounts with using statements <https gist github com dbeattie71 2f5824aa9884b233ad10f098eb3b49a5>

And some reflection to get access to transformations That might not be needed with automation api now

So it definitely looks like the provider config can be bypassed overridden via provider args which avoids the provider static config issue

I m still wondering if Pulumi config matters if I inject an `IOptions lt T gt ` config into a stack instance I don t need to roundtrip config through the Pulumi config api unless I m missing something

Presumably Pulumi up runs without any config if config already manifests in stack resource declarations by being passed to the ctor and used from there

I ll try to put an example repo on GitHub that I can point to rather than waving my hands

You can DI right into the stack

Not using all those config options trying several things out

Yep I m doing something similar I m just unsure about using Pulumi config when dotnet config sources are so powerful and I want to just use them

The helper I created relies on Stack I m wondering if there is a way to accomplish the same with only using a LocalWorkspace and an InlineProgram

< worried city 86458> This might be an example of the config question you were asking
