03/24/2022, 5:37 PMHi folks! I have a (potentially stupid) question, but how do you keep parts of the provider configuration (or inputs) outside of the Pulumi state? The use case is that both the CI and local developer machines can manage the same set of infrastructure, but the connectivity to the provider from local machines differs from the machines in the CI. If I apply the infrastructure using my local machine then the CI cannot refresh the resources, because it tries to use the provider configuration inside of the state file. I tried to override the configuration in the CI using environment variables and
pulumi config setf

The answer is probably environment variables

03/24/2022, 6:17 PMAlso it might be worth mentioning that we are instantiating the provider:
Copy code
snowflake_provider = snowflake.Provider(
"snowflake_provider",
account=settings.SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT,
role=settings.SNOWFLAKE_ROLE,
username=settings.SNOWFLAKE_USER,
password=settings.SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD,
region="",
)
snowflake.Database(
"database",
name="RAW",
opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(protect=True, provider=snowflake_provider),
)future-fountain-86701
03/25/2022, 9:26 AMThe solution is to pass the config option you want to define using an environment variable as a Pulumi output:
Copy code
snowflake_provider = snowflake.Provider(
"snowflake_provider",
account=pulumi.Output.from_input(None), # this will force the provider to look for this value in the environment
role=settings.SNOWFLAKE_ROLE,
username=settings.SNOWFLAKE_USER,
password=settings.SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD,
region="",
)
