Question

here can anyone tell me if there is a supported way to do a stack reference across different pulumi projects Specifically we are using the AWS S3 backend and each project is in a new directory Pulumi login though only logs into the active project I would need to get shared resources from a different one

When you create a stack reference you re calling it as ` lt org gt lt project gt lt stack gt ` So if you re in an org called abc and the projects are 123 and 456 with stacks called dev you can call the stack details from 123 in 456 like this this is in Python ```from pulumi import StackReference ref123 = StackReference f abc 123 dev ref123 output = ref123 get output ref ```

Not sure if stack references work on S3 backend

red-match-15116 · Answer

You re using the s3 backend so you actually don t have `org`

red-match-15116 · Answer

stack references do work on s3 backend but all stacks need to be in the same bucket not sure about the directory though There are definitely some intricacies to making stack references work with s3 backend

bulky-policeman-29913 · Answer

thats the concern so say I have <s3 bucket project1>

bulky-policeman-29913 · Answer

and <s3 bucket project2>

bulky-policeman-29913 · Answer

I do a pulumi login <s3 bucket project1>

bulky-policeman-29913 · Answer

i dont think I can access with a stack reference project2 without a complimentary pulumi login right

red-match-15116 · Answer

yah if you re logging into them separately with `pulumi login` I don t think `StackReference` will work There are more details around this issue here <https github com pulumi pulumi issues 2814>

bulky-policeman-29913 · Answer

no im not

bulky-policeman-29913 · Answer

i mean I am for that project but not when project1 needs the reference

bulky-policeman-29913 · Answer

so in cicd it would only do pulumi login <s3 bucket project1>

bulky-policeman-29913 · Answer

stack reference is going to have zero visibility to a different directory it knows nothing about right

bulky-policeman-29913 · Answer

TLDR I think everything has to be at the root of pulumi not nested for stack ref to work but sadly that has issues cause of naming collisions among stacks IE cant have two stacks named dev

red-match-15116 · Answer

gt IE cant have two stacks named dev For S3 backend it is recommended to include the project name in the stack name to avoid this issue and to keep all stacks in the same bucket this will allow StackReference i e `myproject dev` and `other project dev` in one s3 bucket will allow StackReference

bulky-policeman-29913 · Answer

ok I was afraid of that it would be nice if you could specify for the s3 provider like a relative path ` ` or similar so you could get at other projects Of course this isn t a problem with the pulumi console solution

Let s say we have and How could Project2 stackreference Project1 and what would its syntax be cause the lt org gt lt project gt lt stack gt hierarchy does not exist here
